Expand learning time

Expand learning time

Educating students in poverty requires more time than is provided in the traditional school calendar, writes Jennifer Davis of the National Center on Time and Learning in The Hechinger Report. To address socioeconomic disparity, all the research indicates schools must offer more and better in-school learning and enrichment. High-needs students both require and want additional opportunities and supports to flourish. Expanded-time schools…

A better vehicle for reformist passions - early childhood education

For many high school seniors, spring means high school is over and it's okay to check out, writes Andrew Rotherham for U.S. News & World Report. At the other end of the educational path, many parents struggle to afford high-quality preschool for their four-year-olds. Rotherham's solution: Why not abolish senior year, and use that money for universal access to pre-K? High-quality pre-K programs would cost tens of billions…

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.
