Ideas and strategies you can put to immediate use in your work as a mentor!
The Mentor's Handbook:
Practical Suggestions for Collaborative Reflection and Analysis

Marlene P. Correia and Jana M. McHenry

Here's the ideal handbook of practical strategies you can put to immediate use "as is," or tailored to your own particular situation. The authors believe that "mentors are not evaluators but coaches who provide guidance and capitalize on the mentee's strengths in the classroom." In keeping with this belief they've set this book up as a valuable resource you can turn to as you guide your mentee through those first few difficult years of teaching. Included are background information, guiding questions, a variety of observation techniques with suggestions for providing feedback, aids for ensuring new teachers have met required standards, ideas for furthering professional development, and much, much more.
