On Episode 3 of the 5 Cs Podcast, we talk to an aspiring teacher, Miranda Mullins, who is about to graduate from The University of South Carolina Aiken. She is a social studies teacher who is eager to enter the field of education. We spoke to her about how prepared she believes she might be for the new year in her own classroom and how veteran teachers can help prepare and support new teachers in the beginning of their careers. She shares some insight on how the teacher preparation program can set realistic expectations and provide more training prior to the teachers being on their own.
