Student Teacher Welcome Binder

Set up your student teacher for success by giving him or her the gift of organization! This binder will help your student teacher keep track of important dates, observations and feedback, ideas they want to take with them, and more.

Having a student teacher is a huge responsibility - you are responsible for mentoring someone, showing them how to be the kind of teacher that YOU would want to work alongside every day... all while still being held responsible for the learning of your students.

Don't let your student teacher just wing it! They need ONE PLACE to go to find the information they need and to record the information they want to remember.
