This presentation will explore how a senior education major experienced time as a peer mentor in working with freshman in a semester long field placement seminar course then the transition into taking over a classroom. With experience as a current teacher for Greenwood 50 School District, the presentation shares the ways to connect with peer groups, reflections of leadership and growth throughout the experience, and how those skills have benefitted a teacher in a classroom.
