The Codesign Collective — an innovation from LeanLab Education, with 228Accelerator as a facilitation partner — brought together educators as researchers, designers, and teachers to create these AI guidelines. This work centers the lived wisdom of teachers to shape how we can center the human experience as AI enters our classrooms.

This guide offers a starting point for practical, justice-centered strategies for educators navigating the emerging intersection of technology and equity. Inside, you’ll explore:

• How teachers can preserve their essential role in learning while using AI to enhance—not replace—human relationships.

• The principle of placing humans at the center, ensuring competence, ethics, and care, drives AI literacy and adoption.

• How students remain the North Star, anchoring every AI decision in student success, well-being, and agency.

  These guidelines are not mandates—they are living invitations to design wisely, collectively, and courageously.
