Special education teachers are increasingly using AI to draft individualized education programs, with 57% reporting AI use for IEPs or Section 504 plans this school year, according to a survey by the Center for Democracy and Technology. Experts who urge caution amid a lack of official policies include Olivia Coleman, a University of Central Florida assistant professor of exceptional student education, who says AI should be a "writing partner" for educators who must watch for potential bias, privacy issues and inaccuracies.

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.
