Team Three Mentor Teachers 

We are delighted that you will be a mentor teacher for an intern in the Team 3 Teacher Certification Program.  Your willingness to mentor an intern as she/he learns teaching is vital to a novice’s professional growth and development.  

This Handbook contains documents that provide an overview of the MSU Teacher Certification Program.  It includes information on Program Standards, policies and procedures, and individuals associated with Team 3.  We trust you will find it to be a useful resource in your mentoring role.   If there are ways in which you think this document could be revised to be more helpful, please contact any one of us with your suggestions.  

The interns are looking forward - with enthusiasm and a certain measure of apprehension and uncertainty - to working with you and your students.  We encourage you to help them take full advantage of all the teaching-learning occasions - in your classroom, in your school, in the community - that can make their internship experience substantive and personally and professionally rewarding.

Thank you for participating with us this year.  We look forward to working with you and supporting you in this very important role that you play on our Team.  If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact a Team 3 Coordinator or Faculty Leader either by phone or e-mail.  Their numbers and addresses are listed below.
