Do It.. By WATch

You're right about helping others as you were helped. That's what "pushed" me to the 'yes side'. I have had several. While some are certainly "better" than others, I have found it to be a positive experience. I find it helpful to meet with them right at the beginning to: find out what they expect from the experience.
figure out what the college expectations are
set a timeline for tasks needing to be completed
agree on a protocol for communicating
I have found I always learn something from each experience. A student teacher I hosted 3 years ago is now mentoring me as I've been moved up to the grade she was hired to teach when she finished St Tch. Good Luck..:o
