Mentors who are working on their own can easily use this text to support their development."</em>--Debra Pitton, Professor of Education, Gustavus Adolphus College (9/26/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"The book gets straight to the point of mentoring and provides practical, doable strategies and guidance to mentors, as well as the opportunity to practice those strategies with immediate feedback. A short and easy read for people who need good advice but don't have a lot of time to spare."</em>--Kathy Grover, Assistant Superintendent (9/26/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"With the guidance of Hal Portner, our new teacher induction/mentoring program made a turnaround from a bare minimum, "letter of the law" program into a dynamic, teacher-affirming program! Our mentoring team now has a shared vision of the components of effective mentoring and, more importantly, our mentees are reaping the benefits. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone interested in improving their school's mentoring program to read this book."</em>--William E. Collins, Principal (10/30/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>A much-needed resource for teacher mentors. The new and updated strategies and practical approach will give mentors crucial support as they provide assistance and encouragement to new teachers. Portner has clearly demonstrated the importance of both theory and practice in this practical guide.</em>--Priscilla Miller, Director (10/12/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>An essential key to passing on wisdom and an important pick for any education collection.</em>--The Bookwatch, July 2008 (11/20/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Bravo for basing this on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards! Standards for mentoring are long overdue. This book will become a primary resource for our annual mentoring staff development, to be used with both mentors and mentees.</em>--Mark Bower, Director of Elementary Education and Staff Development (10/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><i>"Mentoring is an activity in which both participants gain experience and knowledge, and this book reflects that. Portner presents very practical suggestions for both the mentor and the mentee."</i>--Joy Rose, Retired Principal<br>
