Qestion about ensuring "complete" training ... Re: [Ailist] Use of AI in Training

[lsgallegos at comcast.net]

Great question. 
It is safe to say that students learn in different ways and demonstrate knowledge differently. My training emphasis would be on identifying student learning strengths and effective/successful support strategies to address knowledge acquisition and output rather than a focus on the traditional reading and writing approaches often used to measure student achievement/progress. I'm hoping that the use of AI with a team of professionals can be used to build in a reflective component that can be used with supervisors to determine alignment with regulatory procedures. 
The training would be with those specifically involved with the student's plan. The regulatory aspects are mostly procedural regarding notification timelines and participants involved. Notification timelines are mostly administrative. The participants involved would be those who have knowledge of the student in a number of different roles, which aligns well with the regulations. The manner of creating or documenting achievement or effective learning data is not outlined in the regulations and therefore is minimized to reflect regulatory language and not much useful "instructional" information.
So I guess the answer to "how is this overcome?" is that supervisory or administrative reflection on the outcome of the planning document would determine that procedural regulations were met and the documentation of student progress would determine if the AI cycle of team participant training improved student achievement/progress.
