The problem with 'grit'

The problem with 'grit'
The "new character education" has thousands of administrators, teachers, and parents convinced that qualities such as perseverance, discipline, and self-control trump IQ in determining academic success, writes Jeffrey Aaron Snyder for The New Republic. Yet Snyder finds major problems with this premise. First, we don't know how to teach character. We have an increasingly cogent "science of character," but no "science of teaching…

Falling short on our egalitarian system

Falling short on our egalitarian system

In the national mythology, few ideas are more revered than education's power to overcome entrenched inequality, writes Eduardo Porter in The New York Times. While often falling short of the ideal, the United States at one time aimed to provide universal, comprehensive education, an egalitarian system to put elite European systems to shame -- but no longer. Not only do American standards trail those of other industrial…

Racism's compound interest

Racism's compound interest

The legacy of slavery and segregation in this country has benefitted many for years on a principle similar to compound interest, writes Ezra Klein for Vox. White America has, for centuries, used force, racist laws, biased courts, and housing segregation to build wealth, stealing the work of African Americans and then, when that became illegal, plundering their work and assets. And then it let compound interest work its magic. Today,…

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.
