Reflection: 17 years of learning

This summer will be my 17th year working in the education field.  As I reflect on my experience, many things come to mind.  There have been a series of truths that I have come to realize and have experienced as a result of my time as an educator and a school leader.  Other than the fact that I am 17 years older and growing gray hair, I feel as if I started teaching yesterday.  The freshness of evolution has kept me alive and motivated me to continue…

What’s Testing Season?

Recently, the editors of Edutopia were considering a theme for their bloggers to blog about concerning testing. In order to keep things timely, they needed to find out when most schools were being affected by standardized tests. It was a reasonable consideration, worthy of a responsible examination of the subject. It was the question posed to the bloggers however, that set me off about our evolved approach to these standardized tests. When is your Testing Season?

Perhaps new teacher evals aren't so bad

Perhaps new teacher evals aren't so bad
New York City public school teachers used to receive either a 'satisfactory' or 'unsatisfactory' rating, reports Beth Fertig for WNYC. In 2012, 97 percent were deemed satisfactory. Now, teachers are rated through a combination of classroom observations and student test scores, and teachers and principals say overall they appreciate the classroom-observation component -- it's just very complicated.

Bullying

Bullying

Dr. Jonathan T. Jefferson

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.  Click here to explore and contribute an article.

Also, consider the exciting learning opportunity offered through the Mentors.net AI Academy.
