“Within my first month of student teaching, I already had students coming to confide in me. It was such a full circle moment that I was already seeing results relating to why I started teaching, and it had only been a month,” said Kaylee Edelen, a Mahurin Honors College scholar and graduating senior in Elementary Education from Bardstown. Edelen started student teaching in August at Rich Pond Elementary School and is already planning to continue teaching 5th-grade social studies after graduating. She knows teaching is the life for her.
