Fostering Future Educators through the College for Kids and Teens Program
By integrating multiple generations of educators and emphasizing mentorship, the College for Kids and Teens program at MSUM has become a vital platform for nurturing future educators. The program involves newly licensed teachers, teacher candidates, and practicum students, creating a collaborative environment.
This mentorship model has proven to be highly effective. Newly licensed teachers, and some with just a few years into their careers, return to the program each summer to continue their involvement and support newer students. This cycle builds a strong sense of community and mutual support among teachers.
“The goal of the School of Teaching and Learning is to change education from the inside out. We try to stay relevant, diversify our teaching force, and innovate,” Julia Poplin says.
