   TrafficLiteEdu: How to Clearly Define AI Use in Schools - HoET268

   AI is everywhere in education—but clarity isn’t. I’m joined by Derek Tranchina, creator of TrafficLiteEdu (trafficliteedu.com), to unpack one of the biggest challenges schools are facing right now: not whether to use AI, but how to use it well. The real issue isn’t the tools—it’s the confusion around expectations, boundaries, and purpose. Derek shares how the TrafficLiteEdu framework helps schools bring clarity to AI use through a simple, practical approach—giving educators and students a shared language for what’s acceptable, what’s not, and what falls somewhere in between. If your school is struggling with mixed messages, inconsistent policies, or hesitation around AI, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters. Because in the end, it’s not about banning or embracing AI—it’s about being clear.

You might discover an opportunity on the first day of school. You might discover one halfway through a unit when you realize your students aren't getting it. You might find one in the middle of a grading period when you're drowning in repetitive work. Or you might discover one on a random Tuesday in March when you think, there has to be a better way to do this. […]
