About Intelligence Suite

🎯 What This Is

A suite of AI-powered instructional design tools built specifically for educators. Each tool serves a distinct pedagogical purpose—from inclusive design to authentic learning to critical thinking.

⚙️ How It Works

Each tool uses structured AI (Gemini) guided by educational frameworks—not generic prompts. The AI is constrained to follow pedagogical best practices like UDL guidelines, DOK levels, and competency frameworks.

Implementation Guide

Educational leaders can use this framework to evaluate whether learning experiences develop genuinely human capacities or could be replicated by AI systems. The key question guides decision-making about curriculum design, assessment methods, and technology integration.

These Capacities Matter

As AI handles routine cognitive tasks, these human capacities become more valuable, not less. Students who develop these skills will be prepared to guide AI systems rather than be guided by them, maintaining human agency in an increasingly automated world.
