`There is no 'one size fits all' professional development. Teaching
is exciting and rewarding, but it is like pro football in that on
any given day most anything may work, while on other days nothing
seems to work. But you still need to keep on playing your best.
Good mentors help keep good teachers playing at their very best. .
. . As the authors so aptly suggest, good teaching is more a
journey than a destination. This book will help both mentors and
teachers to navigate this journey successfully' - Stephen Sroka,
Health Education Consultant , Case Western Reserve University
Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book synthesizes
current educational research and extends its application to
in-service settings. Using a consistent and reader-friendly format,
the authors present specific mentoring strategies accompanied by
summaries of the research background validating the strategies,
mentoring applications for the strategies, precautions and pitfalls
helpful for implementation, and source citations for further
reference. Strategies are organized into convenient categories that
include developing teaching styles; time management strategies;
classroom management policies; managing curriculum, instruction,
and assessment; working with at-risk, special needs, and diverse
populations; working with educational technologies; interacting
with students, parents, and community; and more.
