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 )
