A look at one of the most challenging settings for teaching

Cultivating High-Quality Teaching Through Induction And Mentoring by education administrator, expert, and advocate Carol A. Bartell is a guide written especially for those charged with preparing and assisting new teachers. The first few years of teaching are the most challenging, and the most likely time for beginning teachers to become disillusioned; yet it is also the prime time to establish habits and practices for a successful career. Cultivating High-Quality Teaching Through Induction And Mentoring covers the obstacles new teachers face, the key elements of an effective induction plan, the role and benefits of mentoring in an induction program, structured models for assessment during the induction period, a close look at one of the most challenging settings for teaching - the urban school, and much more. A practical, no-nonsense and principled guide condencing decades of expertise into plain terms advice.
