The Role of Teacher Education in Mentoring Teachers
In episode 6, Carol welcomes Sara Hoeve and Susan Brondyk who are colleagues in the school of education at Hope College. This episode focuses on The Role of Teacher Education in Mentoring Teachers. Sara and Susan give us a behind-the-scenes look at how they set up their mentorship programs to best support both the student teachers and the teacher mentors in schools. In conversation with Carol, they share how they get mentors and mentees on the same page, why establishing a common language is essential, and how they continue to support their new teachers even after they graduate from student teaching.
