More about VerifiedHuman
VerifiedHuman for educators
A free framework for talking about AI, learning, and students’ own work.
Students need room to think, make, and discover what they can do. VerifiedHuman’s education framework gives teachers and students a shared language for talking about AI’s role in that work.
It is free to reference and teach. No sign-up is required.
Start with the assignment
Decide what students are meant to learn, then say which kinds of AI help fit that purpose. The Human–AI Spectrum offers five levels, from entirely AI-generated to entirely human-created.
Ask students to describe their process: Which parts did you create? Where did AI help? What did you change, check, or reject?
A clear expectation and a useful conversation tell students more than a rule that simply says “AI allowed.”
Use the field definitions
Writing, visual work, composition, and performance require different kinds of human contribution. The definitions help make those differences concrete.
For writing, permitted editorial help is different from starting with an AI-generated draft. The Five-Word Principle is a prompt to examine authorship, not an automatic plagiarism test.
VerifiedHuman does not replace a school’s academic rules or grading decisions. Membership is not proof that a disputed assignment was human-authored.
Teachers make things too
Lesson plans, illustrations, compositions, recorded lessons, and course videos are creative work. You can join under the standard that fits what you make.
A school or department can also make an organizational commitment. Using the classroom framework does not require that membership.
Make your commitment.
Read the standard for your field, then put your name behind it.
