Initial Mentor Teacher Workshop (1/4 - 2/15/2021)

Course Description

This course is intended for both student teachers and mentor teachers to do together.  (Only the mentor teacher needs to officially register and complete the course).   You will have opportunities to have collaborative conversations and share your thinking with each other to build common understanding and expectations related to the classroom.    You might decide to go through this course in one sitting, or you can do it in little chunks over the next couple weeks.
