Hate has been in the headlines regularly, from a string of attacks on Jews in New York in December 2019 to racist heckling of a parent in February 2020. The acts of hate that get reported to the police or covered in the media are only the tip of the iceberg, with experts estimating that more than half of hate-crime victims do not report the crime to authorities.

Symbols of hate are also increasingly visible within schools across the United States. Students of all ages, from elementary school through university, have been caught vandalizing their schools with symbols and speech that target racial and religious minorities, members of the LGBTQ community, and women. In January 2020 alone, racist and antisemitic graffiti has been found in high schools in Salem, Oregon and Brooklyn, New York, as well as in universities in Virginia and Massachusetts.

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.
