3.0 out of 5 stars Some good info, April 5, 2008

By	E. Shaver - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book explains the components of a full teacher induction program, not just mentoring (which they see as just one part and insufficient to really retain new teachers on its own). The format of the pages is very busy, and while there is useful information here, you'll need to weed through a lot of repetition to get to it all. Wong's other book, "The First Days of School" is pitched repetitively too.
