In this session, we’ll explore academic integrity and how we set expectations, verify student work, and address concerns—plus, we’ll look at how top companies build trust so we can apply fresh strategies to better support our students. We are going to take a look at how The Academic Integrity section on the FLVS Connect Homepage offers valuable resources and practical strategies to help you uphold integrity in your classroom.

Next: Chick-fil-A efficiency. Chick-fil-A is famous for streamlined, high-quality service. The documents connect that kind of efficiency to grading workflows—specifically using the Turnitin report directly for integrity checks. Instead of adding extra steps, it becomes part of the routine. It saves time while keeping academic integrity central and sustainable.

And for consistency: Think Delta Airlines. Delta is known for meticulous tracking and reporting—nothing slips through the cracks. Similarly, it is imperative for teachers to consistently submit academic integrity help tickets for every concern, even the small ones. Every Academic integrity Help Ticket builds an essential data trail that supports interventions. It’s about helping a student to reach their academic goals.

Remember that the first Academic Integrity conversation should happen in your Welcome Call with the student and parent/guardian.

During the Welcome Call, briefly introduce academic integrity—emphasize submitting original work, FLVS’s core values, the AI Matrix expectations, and remind them it’s all outlined in the student handbook.

Let them know about submitting authentic work. You can even use these example scripts:  

“Just so you know, I grade every assignment using Turnitin, which checks for originality—including AI use, plagiarism, or copied content. If something raises a concern, I’m required to submit an academic integrity ticket as part of FLVS protocol. But no worries—we’ll talk it through first, and I’m here to help.”

“To avoid academic integrity issues, write in your own words, cite sources, avoid AI-generated content, rely on your notes, and use Turnitin to check your work before submitting.”

“Remember that when you signed up for this course, you signed the “I Agree” Statement which stated you would submit your own, original work. If there is a concern with your work, an academic integrity ticket is submitted. However, we’ll follow the AI Matrix steps to discuss it.”

How do I submit an Academic Integrity Help Ticket?

You can open a ticket in Educator. The ServiceNow ticket will ask you a few questions.

• What does the "Is this the first incident that does not include a Module or Segment exam?" button actually do on the Academic Integrity tickets?

• When you click yes the ticket will automatically, and immediately, close as a learning intervention. If you are unsure if the incident in truly academic integrity, click "no" or "not sure" and an Academic Integrity representative will review the incident.

Please note that you Only select yes if you are sure this is the 1st incident in the course. Otherwise, select no or not sure.

What Documentation should I add in the Academic Integrity incident? When submitting documentation for review, you may include TurnItIn report URL links from the educator, student work files, images of student essay responses with links to matching sources, notes from DBA or GAI-related calls, and any other details that could assist the Academic Integrity department in evaluating the incident.

You can add any of the following documents.

• TurnItIn report url links from Educator

• Student work files

• Images of student essay answers and links to matching sources

• Notes from DBA calls or a GAI (Generative Artificial Intelligence submited work) call

• Other details you think will help the Academic Integrity department review the incident.

For example, if there is a first incident of academic integrity in your classroom which involves work copied from the internet on an assignment (not a module or segment exam), the student would be allowed to resubmit for full credit once the assignment is unlocked.

If it is a second academic integrity incident in your course which involves work copied from the internet on an assignment (not a module or segment exam), the student be allowed to resubmit for up to 75% credit once the assignment is unlocked.

How about a Fourth incident in the same course?  The student would receive 0% credit and possibly a proctored segment exam. Depending on the strength of their DBA, a proctored exam may be approved but not required. However, if it is a 5^th incident in the same course for an assignment the student would also receive 0% credit and the Academic Integrity department would require that a proctored exam be taken in order to earn course credit.

If a student submitted Web-sourced answers on a module or segment exam, the teacher would conduct a DBA focused on that specific exam to assess how much outside help was involved.

Every call matters. From the initial intervention to the resolution, the outcome conversation, and even the attempted contacts that show care and persistence.

All contacts must be thoroughly documented in VSA. That VSA log is key—it’s what ensures continuity, accountability, and informed decision-making across the board.
