Please note: Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee we will match you with a pre-service teacher. We are not always able to find a suitable match for all our placements and partner teachers. Please know we will do our very best – we are very thankful so many Partner Teachers are interested in mentoring a pre-service teacher from the Werklund School of Education. Our matches are based on your teaching assignment (subject, grades) and Pre-Service Teacher specialization, interests, residential location, and diversity of experience.
