With generative AI (GenAI) readily available at everyone's fingertips, the moral quandary in education today is how to foster students' creative development without unethical use of AI tools. With writing in particular, AI poses a treacherous slope for academic dishonesty and plagiarism, and its presence and performance are only growing. However, if actively taught how to use AI within bounds of acceptable, helpful, honest practice, student writers and teachers alike may find GenAI to be a powerful accelerator, rather than a substitute, to their own unique creative capabilities. In Teaching Writing in the Age of AI: Strategies for Teachers of Secondary Students, Troy Hicks and Kristen Hawley Turner introduce writing teachers to the opportunities and hazards of AI in the classroom. They explain how GenAI is designed to work, and they explore ways teachers may experiment with AI tools to develop successful student writers. From mental attitude shifts to pointed applications of AI on particular writing assignments, Hicks and Turner cover the broad scope of AI's benefits in teaching writing, and they encourage teachers to embrace innovation and adaptation in an age where AI's continued presence, accessibility, and development are an inevitable reality
