| By Kevin Teasley |
The world has changed much over the past several decades, but high schools have mostly stayed the same. This stagnation needs to end, and one of the most urgent, ripe areas for evolution is schools’ approach to dual credit, wherein high school students earn college credit by completing college-level coursework. Many secondary schools claim to offer such opportunities, but they’re often inadequate, with classes offered only on the high school’s campus. A better approach—used at the 21st Century Charter School in Gary, Indiana, of which the author is a founder—streamlines the high school (fewer course offerings, less staff, etc.) and uses the money saved to “voucherize” students’ college tuition, maximizing time spent in higher education courses held on real college campuses.

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.
