Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Sask DLC
AI does not replace learning. It supports learning.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how people learn, work, communicate, and solve problems. As these technologies become more common in schools, workplaces, and everyday life, students need opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills required to use them responsibly.
At Sask DLC, we believe AI literacy is an important future-ready skill. Our goal is not simply to teach students how to use AI tools, but to help them become thoughtful, ethical, and informed users of technology.
Our approach is guided by five key principles:
• Relationships come first
• Transparency matters
• AI literacy should be accessible to all learners
• AI should be used fairly and inclusively
• Humans remain accountable for decisions and outcomes
Why Is Sask DLC Using AI?
• create and adapt learning materials
• provide additional learning supports
• improve accessibility for diverse learners
• translate content into multiple languages
• personalize learning experiences
• prepare students for an AI-enabled future
Like calculators, search engines, and other technologies before it, AI is becoming part of the world our students will enter after graduation. Learning how to use these tools responsibly is an important part of preparing for future education, careers, and citizenship.
Commonly Asked Questions
No.
The Saskatchewan curriculum remains the foundation of teaching and learning at Sask DLC.
If a student can demonstrate curricular outcomes without using AI, they will not be required to use AI to meet those outcomes.
Many AI-related learning activities focus on helping students understand how AI works, how to evaluate AI-generated information, how to identify misinformation, and how to use technology responsibly.
Our goal is to build AI literacy, not dependence on AI.
Student privacy comes first.
Sask DLC carefully reviews digital tools before they are approved for use. This includes reviewing privacy policies, terms of service, security standards, and compliance requirements.
Students and staff are also taught safe practices when using AI tools, including:
protecting personal information
avoiding the sharing of sensitive data
understanding how information is collected and used
evaluating the trustworthiness of digital tools
When approved AI tools are used through Sask DLC accounts, privacy and security settings are managed to align with our expectations for student data protection.
No.
Teachers do not enter student names, student identification numbers, grades, personal records, or other identifying information into AI tools.
When AI is used to help create learning materials, the information provided to AI systems is either:
fictional examples
publicly available information
curriculum and instructional content
AI tools do not have access to student records or personal student profiles.
No.
Teachers remain responsible for planning instruction, supporting students, assessing learning, and building relationships.
AI is a tool that can assist educators, but it does not replace professional judgment, expertise, or the human relationships that are central to learning.
Every AI-assisted resource, activity, or learning experience is reviewed by a qualified educator before it is shared with students.
At Sask DLC, technology supports teachers, it does not replace them.
Transparency is one of our guiding principles.
When AI is used to create or adapt learning materials, teachers may include a brief disclosure statement on assignments, handouts, learning resources, or course pages.
We believe families should understand how technology is being used to support learning.
Our Commitment to Families
At Sask DLC, we are committed to preparing students for a rapidly changing world while maintaining high standards for privacy, safety, academic integrity, and student well-being.
We believe students should learn how to work with AI without becoming dependent on it, how to use technology responsibly, and how to remain thoughtful, ethical decision-makers in an increasingly digital world. No matter how technology continues to evolve, we will keep the human skills of critical thinking, creativity, communication, and integrity at the core of our learning and relationships.
