Generative AI at CDS
The Country Day School has undertaken a comprehensive exploration of various tools and engaged in multiple professional development initiatives aimed at examining how generative artificial intelligence can enhance the learning environment from both instructional and student-centered perspectives.
As part of this ongoing effort, a pilot project was implemented in the 2024/2025 school year, the outcomes of which indicated that CDS would benefit from a more in-depth understanding of AI Literacy to develop a deeper understanding of the implications and potential of AI in advancing teaching and learning. The implementation of an AI Literacy Framework this year, organized in three subgroups (Grades 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12), will provide educators and students with clear guidance and common language focussing on competencies required to understand, utilize, and critically evaluate AI technologies in their daily lives, academic pursuits, and future careers.
Faculty members are actively participating in continued professional development, guided by the expertise of The Future Design School, with a particular emphasis on the effective integration of tools such as Notebook LM and Gemini to enrich educational practice.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
