Moral Principles of Leadership: Lessons From MISSOU President Tim Wolf

It appears, that former University of Missouri System President Tim Wolf ignored reports of an unsafe and unfair racist environment growing within his community. Was it a failure to listen to the members of his community or the failure to give the message the importance it demanded?  Whichever error he made, it cost him his job.  We do not know what was in his heart, but we do know that he failed to appreciate the cost others were paying for his lack of active response.  How many times have you, as leaders or teachers, heard from a person or a group that they were upset about one thing or another?  And how many times have you dismissed it?  In the hurried worlds of leading and teaching, it is an easy to make a mistake in judgment.

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.
