Favorite aspect of Ohio State

Seeing professional partnerships between mentor teachers, supervisors, and our BSEd candidates emerge and grow—both during and after candidates complete their degrees. The relationships that our candidates develop at Ohio State and at their placements provide them a strong network of colleagues even before they enter the teaching profession.
