Becoming a Mentor Teacher

Are you interested in becoming a CSUteach Mentor Teacher? Read on!

We depend on experienced elementary, middle school, and high school teachers to act as mentors to our students during their field-based experiences. Mentor teachers open their classrooms to a pair or pairs of CSUteach students, offering guidance and support as they begin to learn about classroom teaching.

The students who teach in your classroom are predominantly CSU undergraduates and post-bacs just beginning to explore the career of teaching. They are receiving ongoing instruction in lesson design, classroom management, and science and mathematics content.

What are my Responsibilities?

Meet with pair(s) of CSUteach students before field experience begins (at the scheduled Mentor Teacher Orientation Meeting).

Assume primary responsibility for classroom management.

Provide assistance to CSUteach students during group activities.

Complete short reviews of CSUteach student performance.

Complete a thorough summary evaluation of the students at the end of the experience.

Dr. Goodell taught high-school mathematics for 13 years in Australia, and was department chair for five years. She previously taught at Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, and was Research Director for Ohio's Statewide Systemic Initiative Discovery at Miami University in 1999. She currently teaches mathematics methods and practicum courses at CSU. Her research interests focus on equity, reform, and professional development issues in the teaching and learning of mathematics in high schools and universities. Her current grants include the D-STEM Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program, the Noyce Scholarship Program through the National Science Foundation, and the Teacher Quality Partnership program through the National Mathematics and Science Initiative. She is Co-Director of CSUteach. What are some of the Benefits?

We will pay you for each student you work with.

You will have the satisfaction of preparing future teachers in a program that is receiving national attention.

You can get perspective and pick up new ideas from the new methods CSUteach students will be practicing.
