From Problem Solver to Innovator: Is the Answer to Disconnect?

Since we hold the work close and it is always somewhere in our thinking, allowing attention to disconnect, may just be the route to more innovative solutions. Then, disconnecting creates the space for attention to other things; allowing the mind to wander into new places…

Apps in Education

It seems that there is an app for everything.  From communicating with students and parents, to apps that help you easily grade exams and quizzes.  I believe that all educators could benefit from collaborating on best practices with educational technology, which is why I am working on developing a website called AppsEducator.com.

I am looking for bloggers who have used apps in the classroom or in some aspect of education.  The more we share, the more we help each other to…

Implementing Mindfulness in Schools: Reflections From a Principal

Practitioners and researchers offer that practicing mindfulness leads to an increased ability to focus and concentrate, greater self-awareness, reduced stress, increased empathy, and improved impulse control. My personal experience with mindfulness over the past eight years affirms these claims. I have come to recognize that my mindfulness practice has helped me to more fully engage in conversations and truly listen to others, better understand the emotional state and needs of those I am…

Leaders and Moral Courage

The educator's dilemma arises within the domain of what's good enough. An "acceptable" number of students graduate, and an "acceptable" number of students go on to college or join the work force.  Where did that "acceptable" number come from and whose hand moves it when we glance away? We lead schools, institutions that exist at the core of our society; they are expected to both keep pace with change and hold true to tradition. We choose often between two right options, trying to find…

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.
