Studio Aletheia — Initiation Into Digital Intelligence
Student-facing: Initiation Into Digital Intelligence
Educator-facing: A Developmental Entry Point for AI & Technology Use
Build Digital & Social Intelligence
before tools become power.
Homeroom establishes the weekly reflection lens. Core classes mirror it through real academic work. Avatars are guaranteed; progression is private, supportive, and tied to the reflection process.
Ceremonies & Evolving Artifact
Belonging first • Visible culture anchors • No rankings
BOY — Avatar Assembly Agreement
Student-friendly agreement + Builder Statement + community witness. Identity guaranteed for all.
MOY — Agency Upgrade
Midyear recalibration rite. Artifact upgrade symbolizes intentional choice + self-regulation.
EOY — Legacy Crest
Legacy ceremony tied to the Personal Technology Manifesto. Artifact evolves to represent readiness.
Safeguards & Integrity
Equity, privacy, and psychological safety engineered into the system.
Equity & Access
Reflection quality is evaluated by honesty + evidence, not writing skill. Students may respond in multiple modes.
Privacy & Choice
Students choose what to share. 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 instruction (2–5 minutes). No public teacher comparisons.
Avatar Status Canon
Status communicates support, not rank.
- Temporary, expected, normal during growth.
- Everyone experiences Calibration Mode.
- Not a penalty, this is the default learning state.
- 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.
- Permission to progress, not a status symbol.
- Never displayed publicly. Never used as rank.
- “We don’t compare builds. We only celebrate choices.”
- 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).
Canon rule: Praise in Public, Correct in Private.
Growth Pathways
Restorative, not judicial. Student choice. Scripted where needed.
- What choice did you make?
- What effect did it have on your learning?
- What would you try differently next time?
- Revisit tech-use audit.
- Add evidence from classwork.
- Explain what shifted in thinking.
- One tool to intentionally limit.
- One alternative strategy to practice.
- One reflection checkpoint to measure impact.
- What was the challenge?
- What did the tool do for/against learning?
- What’s one adjustment worth trying?
