When the McGraw-Hill Cos. agreed late last month to sell its education division to a private- equity firm, it was the culmination of a yearlong plan to reorganize and separate the publisher's education business from its financial-information business.

It was also, in many ways, a landmark in a period of significant transition in the educational publishing world that saw each of the "big three" publishers reshuffle its business over the past 15 months. Schools are increasingly moving away from printed textbooks toward technology platforms to deliver curriculum, and instructional-material adoption is slowing as states reconsider how they spend precious resources, especially in advance of wholesale curricular changes brought on by the Common Core State Standards.

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.
