The Problem with Using Raw Test Scores to Evaluate Schools
In this Education Gadfly article, Michael Petrilli uses the dismal 2013 test results of Democracy Prep, a high-poverty New York City middle school (fewer than 10 percent were proficient on the state’s new Common Core-aligned tests) to illustrate the problem with using just test scores – the percent of students scoring proficient and above – to “grade” schools.

The Road from Mississippi to Harvard
In this moving New York Times article, Justin Porter reflects on his journey from a small Mississippi high school to Harvard. As he contemplated his early-acceptance letter, he says he felt “trapped between the two worlds in front of me. One held seemingly unlimited opportunity – full scholarship, career advancement, travel possibilities. But what would I sacrifice in exchange? My mother and I have never…

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.
