Speaking on the NPR show On Point, Catherine Gewerz of Education Week said that what lies between the Common Core State Standards and assessments based on them is curriculum, "and that's where some of the heat is being generated... In other words, how do you turn standards into day-to-day instruction? That's going to vary a lot." One strain of criticism, she said, is that teachers and schools have had too little time with these very…

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.
