Evidence for Revolution by Robert E. Slavin

Evidence for Revolution
Robert E. Slavin
 
In the 1973 movie classic "Sleeper," Woody Allen plays a New York health food store owner who wakes up 200 years in the future, in a desolate environment.
 
"What happened to New York?" he asks the character played by Diane Keaton.  She replies, "It was destroyed. Some guy named Al Shanker got hold of a nuclear weapon."

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.
