84. 5 Things We’ve Learned About Hosting Teacher Candidates

Today, we’re reflecting on 5 things we’ve learned from hosting teacher candidates. We truly appreciate our pre-service teachers, and we’ve been there ourselves! We talk about creating a safe space for them, letting them take the lead, giving feedback that fills their well, sharing the small things we do automatically, and noticing how hosting can reflect back on our own teaching. It’s all about supporting growth on both sides while enjoying the process and learning together.
