Paperback. No school asked for this. The tools showed up uninvited, and assignments that had worked for years stopped working overnight.Hands on the Wheel is a working teacher's answer. Douglas Kiang has spent more than thirty-five years in classrooms, from kindergarten through college, and he wrote this book the way he teaches: make something first, then report honestly on what happened. The premise underneath it is simple and uncomfortable. You cannot teach what you will not touch.Before the book says a word about what students should do, it asks you to create something of your own.The argument moves through five parts: Face It looks squarely at what AI has already broken, and treats it as a design problem rather than a discipline problem.Use It puts the tool in your hands, in your subject, because the judgment you need to guide students comes only from making things yourself.Teach It turns personal practice into classroom practice, with mechanics you can run on Monday.Question It is the honest, hard core that most books skip, where Kiang takes on every serious objection before making his case.Lead It is for anyone trying to move a whole faculty, where real change is bottom-up and grief usually comes before adoption.The stories are real. A student who took one intro programming course and shipped an app for people suffering from glaucoma. A team that gave up using AI on a project because they cared too much about the person they were building it for. A colleague who tried to AI-proof the research paper she had assigned for twenty years and inadvertently made it better than ever. Kiang also shows exactly how he used AI in developing this book, because it's the clearest demonstration he can offer of the argument in practice: AI in the hands of someone who stays in charge of the work makes the work better, not lesser.Each chapter ends with a Run It section: one concrete move for yourself, your students, and your colleagues.For classroom teachers, department chairs, instructional coaches, and school leaders who want a clear-eyed guide, not a panic and not a sales pitch."Practical enough to use tomorrow, honest enough to trust."- From the Foreword by Adam Cannon, Columbia UniversityAbout the AuthorDouglas Kiang is an award-winning Computer Science and AI educator at Menlo School in Silicon Valley, with more than thirty-five years of teaching experience across independent schools at every grade level.

No school asked for this. The tools showed up uninvited, and assignments that had worked for years stopped working overnight.
Hands on the Wheel is a working teacher's answer. Douglas Kiang has spent more than thirty-five years in classrooms, from kindergarten through college, and he wrote this book the way he teaches: make something first, then report honestly on what happened. The premise underneath it is simple and uncomfortable. You cannot teach what you will not touch.
Before the book says a word about what students should do, it asks you to create something of your own.
The argument moves through five parts:
Face It looks squarely at what AI has already broken, and treats it as a design problem rather than a discipline problem.
Use It puts the tool in your hands, in your subject, because the judgment you need to guide students comes only from making things yourself.
Teach It turns personal practice into classroom practice, with mechanics you can run on Monday.
Question It is the honest, hard core that most books skip, where Kiang takes on every serious objection before making his case.
Lead It is for anyone trying to move a whole faculty, where real change is bottom-up and grief usually comes before adoption.
The stories are real. A student who took one intro programming course and shipped an app for people suffering from glaucoma. A team that gave up using AI on a project because they cared too much about the person they were building it for. A colleague who tried to AI-proof the research paper she had assigned for twenty years and inadvertently made it better than ever. Kiang also shows exactly how he used AI in developing this book, because it's the clearest demonstration he can offer of the argument in practice: AI in the hands of someone who stays in charge of the work makes the work better, not lesser.
Each chapter ends with a Run It section: one concrete move for yourself, your students, and your colleagues.
For classroom teachers, department chairs, instructional coaches, and school leaders who want a clear-eyed guide, not a panic and not a sales pitch.
"Practical enough to use tomorrow, honest enough to trust."
— From the Foreword by Adam Cannon, Columbia University

Informazioni sul diritto di recesso
Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.
Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
Dovrai rispedire i beni o consegnarli a AussieBookSeller, Truganina, Victoria, Australia, senza indebito ritardo e, in ogni caso, entro 14 giorni dal giorno in cui ci hai comunicato la tua volontà di recedere dal presente contratto. Il termine è rispettato se rispedisci i beni prima della scadenza del periodo di 14 giorni. I costi diretti della restituzione dei beni saranno a tuo carico.
