Looking for a Short Inspirational Video for Opening Day?

From Mike Alpert

Here's a few to consider:

Life without Teachers

Life without Teachers

I love videos of students sharing their candid thoughts about teachers. Some such videos seem scripted, but this video is clearly real. I love it.


The Power of Kindness

The Power of Kindness

If you’ve been a reader for any amount of time, you know I love me some Simon Sinek. This is a fantastic video to share with your team. Kindness truly is contagious.


#3 - Worst Teacher Ever

Worst Teacher Ever

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Still, it’s good to have a sense of humor about our profession. Hopefully, this doesn’t trigger memories of real scenarios and various staff members on plans.


#2 - Why We Need Teachers

Why We Need Teachers

This is a fantastic video for gaining some perspective. We’re all playing the long game. As hard as it is to remember that, we sometimes need a concrete example.


#1 - The Calling

The Calling

If you’re looking for a video to share with your school at in-service, this is probably the one. Simply incredible.

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.
