By Ryan James Purdy
 
From Insight to Action — Your Step-by-Step Guide to AI Policy in Education
AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have arrived in classrooms, lecture halls, and student inboxes—long before most institutions have any formal policy in place. Teachers are unsure what’s allowed. Students are guessing what’s fair. And department heads are left to manage it all in real time.
 
The Stop-Gap AI Policy Guide offers a clear, flexible framework for schools and institutions that need to respond now—without waiting for top-down legislation or slow-moving committees.
Designed specifically for secondary schools, colleges, universities, and training providers, this edition provides:
 
A clear-eyed overview of the challenges AI brings to education
Real-world insights from classrooms, faculty teams, and curriculum offices
A step-by-step, six-meeting process to help your team co-create a functional AI policy
Templates, discussion guides, response protocols, and differentiated rules for instructors and departments
 
Whether you're piloting new tools, managing academic integrity concerns, or building alignment across diverse programs, this guide helps your team move from confusion to coherence—in just a few structured conversations.
 
One book. Six meetings. A working AI policy you can stand behind.
