Mentor and Host Teachers are the foundation for a clinically-based program such as the one at Winthrop! Without dedicated mentor and host teachers, it would be impossible to provide the high quality classroom experience so critical to becoming an educator. Host and mentor teachers engage in co-teaching with Winthrop teacher candidates throughout all field and internship experiences.
Host and Mentor Teacher Benefits - beyond the intrinsic motivation of supporting the next generation of teachers, host and mentor teachers receive various benefits for their service.
