The AI Guidelines Deck® is more than a deck of cards.
It's all the expertise your institution needs to build shared AI guidelines — research-backed and distilled into a 30-minute session your educators and students run together.
No consultant. No committee. No months of planning.
Just open it and run it.
Everyone contributed to an AI guideline they actually believed in. I've never seen such openness and buzz in PD before.

Why AI Guidelines Deck® are worth it.
The AI Guidelines Deck® has been used at University of Toronto, Harvard University, and K–12 schools across North America by over 1,000 educators and students.
AI consulting takes months. AI policies sit in binders. AI training talks at staff.
None of it involves the people who have to live with the result.
The AI Guidelines Deck® does. One session. Every voice in the room. AI guidelines that stick — because they built them.
Research-backed and built on judgment, not tools. Reusable every year — so it works when the technology changes.

"AI guidelines shouldn't be handed down.
It should be built together."
Prof. Chris Dede
Harvard university
Emeritus Professor
"Schools that delay building AI culture will find themselves years behind. The conversation has to start now — and it has to include everyone in the room."
Advised by researchers and educators using AI Guidelines Deck® in real classroom settings.
Tested and shaped with educators.

→ Defined school AI policy with students & educators
"The schools navigating AI well aren't the ones with the strictest policies. They're the ones where teachers and students built the guidelines together —and actually believe in them."

Principal & Author
"Students follow rules they helped create. AI guidelines are no different, building them together isn't just good practice, it's the only approach that works."
Works for every kind of

We ran it in one session. Teachers and students left with an AI policy they actually believed in. Parents stopped asking questions because students could explain it themselves.

Heard from educators who've been in the room.

“
I used to think there was little nuance to how I might address AI in my classroom. Now I think there is a lot of room for dialogue to support students in critically thinking about how they might leverage GenAI.
