The best way for students to get real world experience is to be in the real-world.

We have teachers, parents and researchers who believe in a strong teacher-driven approach and others who believe education needs to be student-centered. There are also those who believe it needs to be a combination of both.

But...that's what the adults in the school system believe. What about our students? Do our students have expectations of what they should learn in school or are they just used to getting told what to do day in and day out?

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.
