Mentor Teacher
What is the role of a Mentor Teacher?
The role of the mentor teacher is complex. It involves mentoring and at the same time evaluating teaching practice and professional dispositions. It involves helping to socialize the student teacher to establish norms of the classroom and school, sharing the wisdom of experience, and yet at the same time, respecting and encouraging innovations.
Kent State University is grateful to the mentor teachers who collaborate with us in implementing an important final step as our student teachers prepare to begin their teaching careers.
