Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI:

A 6-Week Book Study for Educators

Generative AI tools are reshaping how middle and high school students approach homework, writing, and problem-solving. But relying on AI detectors and punitive policies often creates a culture of distrust rather than learning.

The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI offers educators a proactive, human-centered blueprint for modern teaching. Instead of focusing on catching shortcuts, this book study explores how to design authentic learning experiences that inspire genuine effort and original thinking.

Over six weeks, you will join secondary teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders to examine the unique pressures facing MS and HS students, rethink assessment design, and build a classroom culture where academic integrity naturally thrives.
