The Importance of Students Feeling “Known”

The Importance of Students Feeling “Known” 

“Feeling valued as a member of the school community means believing that people genuinely care about who you are as an individual,” says consultant Russell Quaglia in this interview with Lawrence Hardy in American School Board Journal. “The percentage is low because teachers do not show students that they care about them in ways that are perceptible to students… Of course teachers care – they just…

The Problem with Proficiency by Michael Petrilli

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. This school would seem to…

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.
