Senior teaching candidates in the elementary and special education programs in the School of Education on Monday, April 29, heard from a panel of Elon alumni on their experiences in their first years of teaching.
Alumni gave advice about the job process, how to prepare for the first year, experiences working with diverse students, parents, and families.
Current teacher candidates had many questions for the alumni. Professor Erin Hone, lecturer in education and organizer of the panel, said, “It is so neat to see the growth of former students as they progress into their career. They provide such great insights for our current students experiencing the angst of the job search process. It’s really exciting to see them learning from our alumni.”
Alumni in attendance were:
Amelia Cole ’18
Elena Goldman ’17 (virtually)
Aly Lucas ’17
Elizabeth Meynardie ’17
Victoria Parrish ’18
Madison Walser ’18
