Mentoring New Teachers
The Belmont Day School Associate Teacher Program offers an exciting opportunity for
teaching and learning. In collaboration with the Lesley University Graduate School of
Education, the program prepares prospective teachers for positions in early childhood
education or elementary education. Graduates of the program complete requirements for
a Master of Education degree as well as Massachusetts teaching certification.
Associate teachers spend a year working in two classroom placements, changing classrooms
assignments in February. Alongside the Belmont Day School faculty, they teach in all
subject areas. Besides experiencing classroom life, associates attend regularly
scheduled seminars conducted by Belmont Day School faculty and complete course work
at Lesley University.
Associates are an integral part of the Belmont Day School community. They are included
in curriculum meetings, school functions, parent-teacher conferences, and professional
development workshops. The combination of classroom practice, academic study, and professional and social interaction provides a demanding, exhilarating, and enormously rewarding experience.
