bridge mentorship program

Making the transition from a pre-service music educator to taking on your own classroom and rehearsals can be exciting and full of possibility, but also a bit daunting and overwhelming. The ILMEA Bridge Mentorship Program is designed to make that transition to in-service teaching and your experience as an early-service educator as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
