Congratulations...
U of A teacher candidates spend either a semester or a full year as interns in public schools across the region for hands-on training before they have their own classrooms to manage. Being paired with great mentor educators is crucial to a student teacher's success. These students nominated their mentor teachers for Mentor Teacher of the Year after serving as an intern in their classroom. Great mentor teachers are the lifeblood of the University of Arkansas' teacher development program. Kelsey King, a science teacher at Springdale High School was nominated for and named the Mentor Teacher of the Year for 2023-24....Congratulations Kelsey!
