Parent Meetings: Bypassing the Dance of Blame By Dave Orphal

Parent Meetings: Bypassing the Dance of Blame

By Dave Orphal

Do you dread parent meetings—or find that they don't yield the results you wish they did?

At their worst, such meetings (especially when they focus on a problem) are packed with defensiveness, frustration, guilt, and fear for parents, teachers, and students. All parties want to "get it over with." But by sharpening your facilitation skills, you can keep a parent meeting from degenerating…

Top 10 questions to ask yourself in 2012 by Justin Tarte

Top 10 questions to ask yourself in 2012

by Justin Tarte

I firmly believe in self-reflection as a means toward growth and development. As such, we all would benefit from an intense session of self-reflection of the first half of the 2011-2012 school year. Additionally, through self-reflection we will better understand who we are as educators, as well as how our actions are aligning with our beliefs. Regardless of your position or role in education, here are my…

While there is little doubt that the federal program is critically important for these children and their parents, quality varies widely among programs.

Over the years, Congress has tried to strengthen oversight and improve the $8 billion…

Change Things Up With Novelty Learning By Charles Laurent

Change Things Up With Novelty Learning

Some days when I drive into school in the mornings I go a different way. It takes a bit longer and my alternate route selection is met by a question from my 3rd grade daughter: "Dad, why are you going this way?" My response is always the same: "I just wanted to do something different, and it's good for…

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.
