Abstract

This study explores the development of trust between teacher candidates and their classroom mentor teachers (CMT) during field experiences. Specifically, the authors use the facets of trust established by Tschannen-Moran & Hoy (2000) to probe the ways in which the candidate/CMT relationship adheres to the framework of collegial trust.
