Teacher Candidate Mentor Program (Big Sib, Little Sib)
The teacher candidate mentor program (Teacher Ca.M.P.) will match newly admitted Bachelor of Education students to returning students in the program. Mentors and mentees will be encouraged to form positive professional relationships so that all students have the opportunity to undergo personal and professional growth. Students will attend special mentor events, participate actively in academic and social activities on a casual basis, share experiences and ask questions. The 2012-2013 academic year was the program pilot launch.
