What Teachers Spend
Plenty of people make a lot of noise about teacher salaries, but we never hear anything of what these teachers give. The current issue of NEA Today lists these statistics on teacher spending:
99.5% Percentage of teachers who reported buying essential classroom materials out of pocket
$945 Average amount of money teachers spent on out of pocket expenses during the school year
30% Percentage of teachers who say they've bought warm clothing for their students
67% Percentage of teachers who say they've purchased food for their students to meet nutritional
needs
$37 Average amount teachers spend a month on food for students who come to school hungry
$1.6 BILLION Estimated total out-of-pocket teacher spending last year
Check out the current issue for these statistics and more
Happy reading,

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
