You can anywhere/ do anything for 15 minutes. You never know how your yes could change your college experience. Get outside! Introduce yourself to people when you are out and about. It may sound cliché, but you will get out of college what you put in. So put your best foot forward, and you will do amazing!'.

Observe and ask questions beyond what your checklist tells you to look for. You never know what you might learn! If you want to be more hands-on, ask your CE! The worst they can say is no! Communicate ahead of time with your CE so that you both know what you are going to need to do each time you are there!'.

Be careful about what you prioritize. Make time for yourself! While it may be easy to spend all of your free time with friends or at events, make sure you are taking care of yourself. Being too busy can lead to feeling burned out. Block out time for homework/stu to get assignments done early so that you are not rushing to get things done last minute! and try'.

A little advice from the people who’ve been there before 💚

We asked our Teaching Fellows mentors to share what they’ve learned along the way — from getting involved on campus and making the most of your major to navigating field experiences, student teaching, and finding balance.

Swipe through for a few things they wish they knew sooner!
