Stop-Gap AI Policy Guide: Language, Vocational, and Adult Education
A One-Book Policy Solution for Independent Schools and Training Providers
By Ryan James Purdy
 
Build a Smart, Practical AI Policy—No Lawyers, No Committees, No Confusion
For many independent schools and training providers, AI policy isn’t just urgent—it’s overwhelming. Unlike large school boards or universities, most ESL schools, adult learning centers, and private colleges don’t have legal teams, dedicated policy staff, or the budget to hire consultants.
 
This edition of the Stop-Gap AI Policy Guide is designed to do the heavy lifting for you.
Inside, you'll find a comprehensive yet easy-to-use framework that helps your team:
 
Understand the real risks and opportunities AI creates in small educational settings
Decide what your school will allow, restrict, and recommend—based on your mission, learners, and context
Create clear, customized policies for instructors, staff, and students
Build trust with parents, funders, and accrediting bodies by showing proactive leadership
 
Whether you're running a language institute, a trades certification program, or a flexible adult learning center, this book offers a one-stop solution for responsible, future-ready AI use.
No tech background needed. No legal jargon. Just the structure and language you need to take action—starting Monday.
 
Perfect for school owners, academic directors, team leads, and operations managers who wear many hats and need real answers, fast.
