Poetic Novels

In this School Library Journal article, author Terry Farish explains why poetic novels are a natural form for historical fiction, stories of displaced people, and struggling readers. Here are some of the reactions she gets from students:

Does the Common Core Dictate Instructional Methods?

 

In this feisty Education Gadfly article, Michael Petrilli responds to recent articles criticizing supporters of the Common Core for going back on their initial claim that the new standards won’t prescribe how content is taught in classrooms. Petrilli and others have said that Common Core will bring about important “instructional shifts,” and the critics are saying, Aha!…

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.
