Initiation Into Digital Intelligence
A Developmental Entry Point for AI & Technology Use
Build Digital & Social Intelligence through consistency and reflection. Homeroom establishes the weekly reflection lens. Core classes mirror the reflection lens through real academic work. All students are awarded avatars are guaranteed; SEL and Academic progression is private, supportive, and tied to the reflection process.

Initiation Into Digital Intelligence: A Developmental Entry Point for AI & Technology Use.
SEL Guidelines
SEL and Academic progression is private, supportive, and tied to the reflection process.
Points & Productivity Guidelines
Build Digital & Social Intelligence through consistency and reflection.
Belonging first. Visible culture anchors. No rankings.
Avatar Assembly Agreement
Student-friendly agreement + Builder Statement + community witness. Identity guaranteed for all.
Avatar Agency Assessment
Midyear recalibration and assessment ceremony. The avatar’s artifact upgrade symbolizes the culmination of intentional choice + self-regulation.
Avatar Agency Accolades
End of the year celebration ceremony tied to the student’s growth with Personal Technology. The avatar artifact evolves to represent readiness.
Aletheian Avatar Printing Plan
3D models of the student’s avatars printed in batches with spares. In anticipation of privacy concerns avatars are stylized models with no features tied to the student’s personal appearance.
Relevance, privacy, and psychological safety engineered into the system.
Relevance & Access
Reflection quality is evaluated by honesty + evidence, not through the exhibition of ELA skills. Students may respond in multiple modes.
Privacy & Choice
Students choose what to share with their avatars. Reflections may remain private. No public progression display.
Anti-Comparison Norms
“We don’t compare builds.” “We only celebrate choices.” Praise focuses on effort, restraint, honesty, reflection.
Staff Fidelity (Non-Negotiable)
Homeroom introduces the lens. Core classes mirror the lens inside daily instruction. No public teacher comparisons.
Status communicates support, not rank.
Calibration Mode
“I am actively learning how to use tools responsibly.”
- Temporary, expected, normal during growth.
- Everyone experiences Calibration Mode.
- Not a penalty, this is the default learning state.
Reflection Hold
“I need time and support to think about my choices.”
- Common and normalized. Signals care, not failure.
- Never public. Never used for comparison.
- Predictable timeframe: default 5 school days.
- Pathway choice offered within 48 hours; check-in by Day 3.
Growth Ready
“I’ve shown awareness, reflection, and responsibility.”
- Permission to progress, not a status symbol.
- Never displayed publicly. Never used as rank.
- “We don’t compare builds. We only celebrate choices.”
Identity / Expression / Power (Separated)
Identity is guaranteed; power is conditional.
- Identity: avatar exists for every student (never withheld).
- Expression: cosmetics/accessories available via positive engagement (never tied to holds).
- Power Features: advanced functions tied to reflection (conditional).
Restorative, not judicial. Student choice. Scripted where needed.
Reflection Conference (1:1)
10–15 minutes • Coach, not judge
- What choice did you make?
- What effect did it have on your learning?
- What would you try differently next time?
Revised Audit + Evidence
Honesty + metacognition • Revisions are learning artifacts
- Revisit tech-use audit.
- Add evidence from classwork.
- Explain what shifted in thinking.
Restorative Digital Choice Plan
Design restraint • Protect learning
- One tool or Platform to intentionally limit.
- One alternative strategy to practice.
- One reflection checkpoint to measure impact.
Peer Reflection Partnership
Opt-in • Scripted • Not peer discipline
- What was the challenge?
- What did the tool do for/against learning?
- What’s one adjustment worth trying?
Built for fidelity, consistency, and repeatable implementation.
Same frost/chrome style • Built for fidelity
Teacher Weekly Cards (Weeks 1-9 One-Pagers)
Lens prompts, scripts, and core mirroring moves
- Week-by-week lens card + teacher script (5-10minutes) for Homeroom.
- Core-class mirror prompts (ELA/SS/Sci/Math) with examples.
- Reflection modalities menu (writing/audio/draw/checkbox+evidence).
- Hold pathway micro-guide (what to say, what not to say).
Family Cards (FAQ + Explainer)
Clarity, trust, privacy assurances, at-home language
- What this is (and is not): support framework, not punishment system.
- Why AI/tech habits matter for learning, identity, and social growth.
- Privacy: what is collected, what is not, and student opt-in sharing.
- How families can reinforce boundaries without conflict (scripts).
Admin Cards (Look-Fors + Rollout)
Implementation checkpoints, coaching moves, non-negotiables
- Look-fors: homeroom lens delivered, core mirroring visible, status privacy protected.
- Coaching moves: support-first language, no public comparisons, no weaponizing data.
- Rollout timeline: BOY intensive → weekly maintenance → Q1 conferences → MOY recalibration.
- Fidelity safeguards: schedules, PLC micro-checks, and minimum viable implementation.
