When teachers choose pension plans
By Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Amber M. Winkler / February 21, 2013
That the arcane issue of teacher pensions has turned into an emotional battleground can be evinced by recent headlines:
“Cuomo Pension Plan Sparks Fight With New York Unions” (March 14, 2012, Huffington Post)
“Don’t demonize teachers because of pension system’s faults” (October 21, 2012, Los Angeles Times)

What Happens When You Sneeze?
As an elementary classroom teacher (mostly 5th Grade), I was always worried about being out sick or attending a conference for a bunch of reasons - I wasn't sure if the sub would cover all the work, if the children would make good choices (i.e.- would they behave) and honestly, I always missed my kids. The feeling was usually mutual (depending on the class or time of year) and upon my return my kids would ask me to never be absent again because it wasn't…

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.
