A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Should public schools be named (or renamed) after people? If so, which approach do you believe is most appropriate? Please select the ONE option that best reflects your view:
Only after deceased individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to education, public service, science, the arts, or society.
After local educators or school officials (teachers, principals, superintendents, or board members) only after they have retired or passed away, their legacy has stood the test of time.
After historical figures of national, state, or local significance, even if they were not educators.
After living individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the school or community.
Avoid naming schools after people altogether; use geographic locations, neighborhoods, landmarks, or aspirational names instead.
Other (please explain in the comments).

Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., has introduced the Parents Opt-in Protection Act, which would require parental consent before students participate in surveys or evaluations that collect sensitive information. The bill comes after Illinois passed a law for annual mental health screenings for students in grades 3 through 12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. Do you agree with this proposal?
Yes--------55.6%
No---------44.4%

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.
