From Policy to Practice: Communicating AI Boundaries Clearly

Many schools now have an AI policy. Far fewer have shared understanding.

In this episode of Mr F’s AI Classroom, we explore why AI guidance often stops at compliance and how schools can communicate boundaries clearly so staff and students are not left interpreting policy in isolation.

Mr F examines the gap between intent and implementation, why staff understanding must come before student expectations, and how visible, consistent frameworks help protect teachers, students, and schools. The episode also introduces the idea of clear levels of AI use and explains why assumptions create unfairness, safeguarding risks, and misconduct.

You will hear:

• Why having a policy is not the same as shared understanding
• How unclear communication creates inconsistency and risk
• Why staff must understand AI boundaries before students
• Where AI guidance should live day to day
• How clear communication protects fairness and trust

This episode is for teachers and school leaders who want AI policies that actually work in practice.

Welcome back to Mr F’s AI Classroom.
