Please respond to the latest School Leadership 2.0 survey
Sixteen states are now drafting laws that target not the phone in the pocket but the Chromebook on the desk. A proposed Kentucky bill would cap total daily classroom screen time at 30 minutes for K-1, an hour for grades 2-4, 90 minutes for 5-8, and two hours for 9-12. Do you agree with the concept of mandating a limit on total daily student screen time?
Yes
No

To respond, please click hereMore districts are exploring four-day school weeks. 24 states had at least one district with such a schedule. Typically, a 4-day school week has 4 days for student instruction. The 5th day of the week could be a complete day off for students and teachers, or it could be a non-instructional day where students participate in extracurricular activities or targeted instruction, and teachers have time for professional development and lesson planning. What change would you favor in the school week?
Not in favor of any four-day-a-week schedule-------------30.8%
In favor of 4 days of student instruction, keeping the total weekly hours of instruction the same. Fifth day off for all.---------------38.5%
In favor of 4 days of student instruction with the fifth day for targeted instruction, extracurriculars, and/or teacher professional duties or professional growth. --30.8%

It's a great idea that will be implemented poorly. In the end, students will lose precious instructional minutes. It will also become an argument for paying teachers less. It will be used as a way to push private schools (they will be 5 days). |

Not needed. Children need to be in a school with accountability and a structured day, meeting their individual needs. As a former principal, it will never work. No way to ensure they will participate in the day 5 activities. There are plenty of days and time for t |

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.
