A comprehensive guide for developing successful mentors!

Quality mentoring can provide the support and guidance critical to an educator?s first years of teaching. In the latest edition of the best-selling Mentoring New Teachers, Hal Portner draws upon research, experience, and insights to provide a comprehensive overview of essential mentoring behaviors. Packed with strategies, exercises, resources, and concepts, this book examines four critical mentoring functions: establishing good rapport, assessing mentee progress, coaching continuous improvement, and guiding mentees toward self-reliance. Tools and topics new to this edition include:

  • Teacher mentor standards based on the NBPTS Core Propositions and validated by members of the International Mentoring Association and other practitioners
  • Classroom observation methods and competency instruments
  • Tools to assess preferred learning styles
  • Approaches to mentoring the nontraditional new teacher
  • A guide for careerlong professional development

School leaders, experienced and prospective mentors, and staff developers can use this step-by-step handbook to create a dynamic mentoring program or revitalize an existing one.
