As emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) become more prevalent, Parkview Middle
School and Ashwaubenon High School are proactively developing principles to guide the safe,
effective, and responsible use of these tools for student learning. After careful consideration, we have
established the following principles.

As we move forward with Brisk as an accepted AI resource, we remind parents and guardians that many AI tools students may be exploring at home have age restrictions. For example, ChatGPT (a popular AI resource) currently requires users to be at least 13 years old and requires parental or legal guardian consent for students between the ages of 13 and 18. The website warns that “ChatGPT may produce output that is not appropriate for all audiences or all ages and educators should be mindful of that while using it with students or in classroom contexts.” Brisk (more specifically Brisk Boost) is designed to support the learning of middle and high school students. While Brisk offers assistance to improve student learning, it will not do the work for students.
Our goal is to create a learning environment where AI technologies empower rather than replace the human aspects of education. We embrace these technologies cautiously to prepare students for a future where these technologies are everywhere.
What is Brisk Boost?
Brisk Boost is a tool that allows teachers to share educational resources and turn them into interactive
activities powered by safe AI. Your student will engage with safe, AI-powered tools like brainstorming
partners, checks for understanding, and real-time feedback - all designed to help them better grasp the
material.
Why Are We Using It?
We want to help your student succeed by making learning more personalized and engaging. Brisk
Boost streamlines lessons, provides instant feedback, and helps students build essential skills like
problem-solving and adaptability. It also prepares them for today's world by offering safe, teacher-
guided exposure to AI in ways that will enhance their learning. Brisk is a tool specifically designed to
support the learning of middle school and high school students.
How Does AI Fit In?
Brisk Boost uses AI to offer helpful hints, suggestions, and personalized feedback, but it will never give
students the answers or do their work for them. Instead, it’s a support tool that helps guide them
through the learning process and encourages deeper engagement with the shared resources. The goal
is to enhance their understanding, not replace their effort. While there are other AI tools available
outside of the school setting that does replace the effort of students, these tools are not allowed to be
used in school and we will provide instruction to students about how and when Brisk Boost can be used
in class and when it is nor appropriate.
Safety & Privacy
Student safety is a top priority. Brisk Boost follows strict security measures to keep all student data
private and protected. Only teachers and students have access to their progress, and the platform does
not collect or share personal data beyond what’s necessary for learning. You can read more about
Brisk’s comprehensive privacy policies here: https://www.briskteaching.com/privacy-center
What does this mean for you and your student?
Brisk Boost provides your student with tools that keep learning engaging while building important skills
like problem-solving and self-reflection. Feel free to ask them about how they’re using Brisk Boost in
class!
