Teaching Profession in Peril?
I am conducting research on teacher leadership. I am interviewing New York State teachers about the current reforms especially CCS and Teacher Evaluation plans. I welcome thoughts and comments from all educators and am especially concerned with the teaching profession and how it is under "attack".

I do believe the teaching profession is under attack. Teachers are asked to wear many hats in the classroom. The new evaluation systems disregard the social capital of our students and other extenuating circumstances. The lack of support from our administrators and parents is absolutely baffling. Teachers are asked to make something out of nothing, but then are not acknowledged for the efforts and reprimanded harshly for what are viewed as shortcomings. Maybe if we stopped focusing on standardizing our children we could then truly educate them.

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.
