Recenzii
"Thorough, comprehensive, and well thought-out. The author provides an important addition to the growing number of publications about mentoring, focusing on the content of mentor training and development. I like the way content is conveyed in a constructivist mode through the means of group dialogue, while at the same time allowing for individual reflection."
"This practical and comprehensive guide to the complex work of new teacher mentoring is a real contribution to the field."
