Dr. Clayton Smith, professor in the Faculty of Education, makes sure that his research is always in service of the courses he teaches.  

“I don’t do research that I don’t use in my classes,” he explains.  

With a dearth of material available on mentorship for pre-service teachers, Smith and professor emerita Dr. Geri Salinitri were motivated to co-edit a new collection, Mentoring to Support Teacher Candidate Development, recently published by Springer.
