Rethinking Schooling for the New Information Era from an article written by Will Richardson

Rethinking Schooling for the New Information Era

(Originally titled “Students First, Not Stuff”)

In this lead article in Educational Leadership, author/speaker Will Richardson says the Web has upended our long-standing belief that school is where students learn the most important stuff.

Handling Seven Interpersonal Challenges with Skill and Grace

 Handling Seven Interpersonal Challenges with Skill and Grace

In this article in Psychology Today, Mary Loftus says that “it is one of the operating principles of social psychology that even the most minute encounters can have large effects on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors… If there is a unifying theme to the findings, it is that the most successful encounters accommodate, even anticipate, the respondent’s point of view. That is, if we…

It Shouldn’t be on Angie’s List

Have you seen the commercial on TV that offers consumers a service where contractors and companies are reviewed using a data base to give people a better chance at obtaining satisfaction with their purchase?  The thought of how this may or may not be relevant to education came to me as I considered posting a review of the work recently done on the gutters of my house.  Here I thought, wouldn’t it be useful to alert…

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.
