Advocacy Tips: Finding Your Inner Teacher Leader By Megan Allen
Advocacy Tips: Finding Your Inner Teacher Leader
I glanced down at my royal blue heels for a little bit of #shoeconfidence as I sat in the waiting room at the Governor's office. I was there for a hard-won appointment with an education policy advisor.
I was ready to speak for my students. My proposal—about establishing a seat for a teacher on the Florida State Board of Education—was neatly summarized in one page. I was geared up with talking points, including statistics about how many states have teacher input on their boards of education.
But I battled imposter syndrome. What am I doing here? Who am I to keep calling, emailing, and pushing until I get an appointment?

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.
