Description
`This is the book I have been looking for to help us in growing our fledgling mentorship programme. Kathleen Feeney Jonson has answered all our questions, from how to select and support good mentors to how to evaluate the programme's effectiveness. Her book is filled with sound research-based ideas that we can-and will-implement tomorrow!' - Kathryn Carlson, Assistant Superintendent Skaneateles Central School District, Skaneateles, New York
The author has written a comprehensive book on the mentoring process for new teacher support. Thoroughly embedded in the current research, theories, and best practices of mentoring, Kathleen Feeney Jonson provides the support and knowledge that mentor teachers need to help new teachers through their critical first years and that staff developers need to build and maintain effective mentoring programmes. The book also includes case studies, first person quotes from mentees and mentors, checklists, and sample forms.
