Being a Praxis mentor has truly been a rewarding experience. From building relationships with my fellow colleagues to watching them grow as educators, all the while increasing my knowledge base along the way. Playing a small part in this great journey to strengthen the skills of KY's educators gives me great hope for the future of KY's students' success.

The CKEC mentoring program has benefited me tremendously. By having a mentor I was able to stay on track with my praxis test and study habits. I was also able to develop a good working relationship with my mentor, that helped be thrive in my place of work. I highly recommend getting involved with this program.
