SCHOOL LEADERSHIP 2.0 GROUPS
Please respond to the latest School Leadership 2.0 survey
More 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
In favor of 4 days of student instruction, keeping the total weekly hours of instruction the same. Fifth day off for all.
In favor of 4 days of student instruction with the fifth day for targeted instruction, extracurriculars, and/or teacher professional duties or professional growth.

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.
