Making Science Tests Fun
In this charming article in Science Scope, former middle-school science teacher Fred Ende says that if students are uncomfortable and anxious when they take assessments, validity and reliability suffer, no matter how well-designed the assessment is. “[A]nxious students are often less able to concentrate (thus affecting validity) and regularly second-guess their thinking (likely having an impact on reliability),” says…

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.
