The authors of Mentoring Beginning Teachers: Guiding, Reflecting, Coaching, second edition, provide a comprehensive and tested plan for helping seasoned faculty guide new teachers to a higher level of joint assessment and inquiry. Moving beyond the basics of "Plan/Teach/Evaluate", the authors provide mentors with a road map to help new teachers become confident, reflective educators. The book is organized around a series of questions and incorporates the latest findings on all aspects of mentoring. In this second edition, teachers will find five new chapters that demonstrate how to work with ELL students, communicating with parents, curriculum mapping, developing school culture, and the role of administrators within an effective mentoring system. The collaborative model outlined in the book is enlightening and rewarding for the mentor and novice alike.
