Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for first edition:

"This short but effective book could be the perfect guide to help experienced teachers as they work with new colleagues through their first (often the most difficult) months of teaching. Porter has included specific activities and exercises to teach mentors behaviors that develop trust as they work through the mentoring process. He shows the teacher mentors and their proteges how to develop an effective working relationship as the new teachers grow from dependence on their mentors to a high degree of self-reliance as effective teachers in their own right."

(G. E. Pawlas, University of Central Florida CHOICE, 1998 )

I appreciate the excellent tool your book has become for me. The opportunity to mentor has a clearer definition and description of the process, insuring a much more effective experience for both mentor and mentee. (Sharon Wise, Eductor )

"The author writes in a conversational manner as if he were talking directly to the reader. Portner maintains the reader’s interest throughout his books by using factual data, case studies, and by providing suggested practical activities. Furthermore, Portner’s recommendations appear concrete with carefully described step-by-step instructions.

(Mentoring and Tutoring, Vol. 13, Issue 1, 2005 )

"A timely, instructive, and important book on mentoring new teachers. It provides direction and guidance and clearly outlines how to be a mentor."

(From the Foreword by Gerald N. Tirozzi )

"This book captures the essence of mentoring and the process necessary to be an effective mentor."

(Kaye Dean, Elementary Principal )

"An invaluable resource for anyone who is currently a mentor or planning to be one. I’ve not seen any other book like this-one that actually provides guidelines, and serves to facilitate an individual’s transition to the role of mentor. It models behavior by including clear and concrete examples and advice in a friendly manner."

(Norma Gluck, Regent Emeritus )

"Provides a much-needed framework for quality mentoring of beginning teachers."

(Christine Brown, Director of Foreign Languages )

3.0 out of 5 stars "Mentoring" is of great use in the private sector: MIS, January 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mentoring New Teachers (Hardcover)
I am responsible for overseeing the implementation and maintenance of several important aspects of the Management Information System for a large multi-national company. Among other things, my job involves training and mentoring a sizable staff of MIS specialists; some veterans, others new to the field or to our company. Although I am not a teacher, I read "Mentoring New Teachers" by Hal Portner hoping to gain some insights on how to do this part of my job. Since many of the discussions, exercises and tips in the book seemed to relate directly to my situation, I decided to try them out. I was not disappointed! Especially useful were the chapters that dealt with establishing and maintaining productive mentoring relationship, and on how to coach employees in such a way that they gain the confidence and understandings to act productively on their own. I expect "Mentoring New Teachers" is very helpful to teachers, but I also highly recommend Portner's book as a "must read" to my counterparts in the private sector.
