What academic factors ensure student success? Is it a student's attendance record in kindergarten, third grade reading level, or their understanding of ninth grade geometry? While tracing success to a specific class or quality certainly overstates the concept of critical academic indicators, there is merit to the argument that specific factors present at pivotal points in a student's education have the potential to predict the likelihood of on-time high school graduation and postsecondary achievement. 
As students start to file into their new classrooms for the 2014-15 school year, teachers should be aware of early warning signs for specific grade levels and student populations that could serve as representative risk-factors for future success. Further, administrators may want to consider developing a district-specific accountability system to help both parents and teachers mitigate these risks through early identification and targeted academic interventions.

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.
