Mentoring Works:A Sourcebook for School Leaders
Mentoring Works: A Sourcebook for School Leaders focuses on the mentor and new teacher relationship. What role should principals play? How should mentors be chosen and evaluated? What are the key components of a successful mentoring program?
Mentoring Works examines these and other questions through current, readable research and literature on induction. Journal articles are complimented with practical strategies and suggestions for supporting new teachers.
What people are saying about Mentoring Works:
"An important and substantive anthology on mentoring
that provides a powerful rationale and multiple strategies for school
and district leaders.
Two thumbs up!"

"In these times of teacher shortages and high stakes accountability,
recruiting, inducting, and retaining new teachers is a critical task.
I was
amazed at how many of my veteran teachers didn't know how to be mentors!
How much more efficient and effective I could have been in providing
training and leadership for both my veteran teachers and my new teachers
if I had a reference like the Sourcebook to
guide me! This book is must reading
for school leaders who want to ensure that new teachers have the support
they need to be successful in the classroom."

An invaluable tool for mentor coordinators, administrators, and mentors. It provides a variety of strategies for easing new teachers into the profession and gives practical ideas for helping administrators play a greater role in the mentor process. I am suggesting that all building administrators in our district have a copy."
