"A picture of how teachers canlearn to challenge one anotherto
reach standards of excellencein their work"
--from the Foreword by Sharon Feiman-Nemser, Brandeis University
Mentoring Teachers Toward Excellence offers thirteen succinct
cases of teachers who are going through the National Board
Certification process. Each case highlights common challenges
encountered in teacher mentoring relationships, such as working
toward a vision of accomplished practice, maintaining personal and
professional boundaries, working through personality conflicts,
defusing negative group dynamics, providing constructive criticism,
and more. These cases include the thoughts and feelings of the
practitioner-writers as they describe each set of events, and are
rich with detail and dialogue about the challenges encountered.
Each case is accompanied by commentaries from educators who provide
different perspectives on the dilemmas presented in the cases and
teaching notes that analyze the central issues of the case. All of
these compelling narratives provide the vicarious experience of
walking in another's shoes and engaging in self-reflection. In
group discussions, the cases are especially powerful, eliciting
differing points of view to be aired and examined. For that reason,
they are consciously designed to provoke discussion that is
engaging, demanding, and intellectually exciting.
