The Mentor Program benefits early childhood students.
-
More opportunities to complete student teaching
Student teaching courses can be completed in a greater variety of program
types, with more varied ages of children and more flexible schedules than
found in most lab schools.
-
Direct application of theory to practice
Mentor placement offers a quality "real world" experience.
-
One-to-one supervision in high-quality settings
Mentors provide individual supervision, and their classrooms have
successfully completed a quality review process.
-
Increased incentive to pursue a career in child development
Students learn first-hand about a career in child development from a
professional who has gained recognition and support for efforts to improve
child care. Students also gain first-hand exposure to excellent programs and
potential employers.
