Invitational Education
Information
Invitational Education is a self-concept approach to creating a positive school climate. Inviting educators communicate with intentionally optimistic, respectful, trustworthy and caring words and actions. These inviting strategies help all stakeholders to see themselves as able, valuable, and responsible, which then motivates them to take charge of their learning and choose beneficial actions. Inviting schools enjoy increased academic success, attendance, effort, collaboration, positive behaviors, and staff morale. Learn more about International Inviting School Awards, global learning projects and exchange programs.

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.
