Kindred K-12 Settings AI

The AI question, answered as settings

Here is how Kindred K-12 uses AI, written the way you would find it in preferences rather than a manifesto.

Settings · AI

Kindred K-12 is built for the teacher. No student accounts and no student data. What it makes, it makes for you to teach with.
The test is whether it improves the teaching. We are not AI-forward and we are not against AI. Technology earns its place in a classroom by making the instruction better, and the teacher is the one who judges that.
Nothing is final until you approve it. Every draft arrives as a draft. You read it, change it, and decide it is ready.
It works from the sources you chose. Your documents, your unit, your reading list. Not a generic template with your school's name on it.
Your judgment stays visible. Files carry who made them and what changed, so a colleague can see the thinking, not just the output.
