Recenzii

“The level of detail is impressive. I have trained mentors for many years, and I still found many new ideas in this book.”
"A researched-based, how-to compendium for classroom, school, and district leaders who want to provide meaningful mentoring opportunities. School leaders can pick and choose from the strategies and tactics included in the book to get things accomplished."
"This is the book for administrators who want to retain their novice teachers and strengthen their pedagogical abilities to ensure student academic success. Blank and Kershaw provide the complete guide to planning, initiating, managing, and solving the dilemmas associated with mentoring."
"This comprehensive compendium of helpful resources and strategies could only have been compiled by scholarly clinicians who over time have successfully addressed the myriad problems and challenges encountered in implementing and sustaining an effective program of induction. Blank and Kershaw have put together a handbook that should be on the desktop of anyone managing an induction program, preparing mentors, or serving in a mentoring role themselves."
