Books
Practical books for teachers who want to use AI well — without losing the human side of teaching.
The Human–AI–Human series meets you wherever you are: the teacher figuring out where to even start, the one who just wants the exact prompt, and the one trying to get a weekend back. Read them in order or jump to the one that solves today’s problem.
The Human–AI–Human Classroom
A Master Guide to Prompting for Educators
Start here. This is the book that explains the whole idea: how to bring AI into your classroom in a way that strengthens student thinking instead of quietly replacing it.
It refuses the two easy answers — ban it or get out of its way — and offers the harder, more humane third path, where the teacher stays in charge, students keep doing the thinking, and AI has to earn its place every time it’s used. You’ll get the CORE method for writing prompts that actually return something usable, a clear way to tell scaffolding from substitution, and the one question to carry into any lesson: does this protect learning, or replace it?
No hype, no fear. Just the foundation, from someone who respects how little time you have.

The Human–AI–Human Prompt Library
200+ Classroom-Tested AI Prompts
The book you keep open in a browser tab. Where The Classroom gives you the thinking, the Prompt Library gives you the exact words — 200-plus prompts, organized by the real jobs that fill a teacher’s day.
Lesson planning, differentiation, scaffolds for the kid who finished early and the kid who’s lost, grading feedback, rubrics, the parent email you’ve been avoiding. Open to the right page, copy the prompt, adapt the brackets, go. And because a prompt is only as good as your ability to trust what comes back, every one is paired with a quick way to check the output before it reaches a student.
It’s not a book you read so much as a tool you use. Most teachers find their first time-saver within five minutes.
-

The Human–AI–Human Workload
Automating Admin to Reclaim Your Weekend
For every teacher reading this at 4:47 on a Sunday — twenty-three essays, an IEP draft due Monday, the sub plans, the inbox. This book is for that exact moment.
It’s built on three honest premises: AI cannot save your school, AI can save your Sunday afternoons, and here is exactly how. The target is simple and specific — six hours back every week — earned by handing the work that has nothing to do with why you became a teacher to a tool that does it in a fraction of the time. Grading drafts, parent replies, the paperwork, even the professional art of saying no to uncompensated work. Don’t read it cover to cover; open it to the chapter eating your weekend and start there.
The most practical book in the series, and the one teachers say they wish they’d had years ago.
