Principals Need PD Too
As I have started doing preliminary research for my dissertation I have discovered that high quality, relevant and sustainable Professional Development (PD) opportunities for principals (and building leaders in general) are limited.

Value SUBTRACTED Measures
As New York struggles with implementing value-added measures for the purpose of teacher and principal evaluation - New York and other states continue to pull the proverbial rug out from under schools. Governors and State Legislators could infuse millions of dollars into schools by addressing unfunded, underfunded, and unnecessary mandates. Instead, they sit back and watch school district make drastic cuts that are detrimental to learning.

Speaking Back to the Common Core by Thomas Newkirk
Speaking Back to the Common Core
by Thomas Newkirk
The Common Core initiative is a triumph of branding. The standards are portrayed as so consensual, so uni- versally endorsed, so thoroughly researched and vetted, so self-evidently necessary to economic progress, so broadly representative of beliefs in the educational community—that they cease to be even debatable. They are held in…

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.
