Mentoring & On-the-Job Experiences at Clarke

Clarke educators remove limitations and make possibilities real

We spend each day teaching students the skills to succeed in a hearing world. These same educators are committed to helping young professionals become master teachers and advance their careers. While mentoring opportunities and experiences may vary in formality across Clarke programs and sites, all professionals, whether new to the field or seasoned veterans, participate in professional learning opportunities to stay informed of new research, technology and more.

One-to-One Professional Mentoring

For professional development, Clarke staff and senior professionals mentor new or junior team members to help them build skills and social capital, and to introduce them to broader networks and resources in the field of educating those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

LSLS Certification Mentoring

The AG Bell Academy Listening and Spoken Language Certification includes a significant mentoring component. Clarke professionals entertain requests for mentoring as part of the certification program and participate as frequently as possible.

On-the-Job Experiences

Clarke partners with universities and specialized higher education programs to offer classroom internships and field experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.

Professional Mentoring/Consultations for Schools and Districts

Clarke's consulting services for schools and school districts include coaching and mentoring for educators and administrators at public and private mainstream schools.
