Abstract

This chapter explores a transformative mentor-mentee relationship as it relates to the transition from mathematics methods courses to real-time teaching. Framed by an ethic of care, the narrative highlights the collaborative journey of a secondary mathematics teacher and her former methods instructor. This partnership plays a pivotal role in shaping the teacher's practice, particularly in instilling an ethos of care in her classroom, even amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. By underscoring the significance of this dynamic mentorship in teacher education and its impact on creating a classroom environment rooted in care and unconditional positive regard for students, this chapter offers valuable insights into the profound influence of nurturing mentor-mentee relationships during teacher induction.
