Mentoring and Coaching: Helping New Teachers Succeed

The purpose of this Mentoring and Coaching Book is to provide the content, process, and context for creating a system of support for those who assist new teachers. It can be a stand-alone resource guide, but is designed to be used in conjunction with the other induction materials and processes including my First-Year Teacher Academy and in the context of a school that is a professional learning community. This notebook, along with the other materials, is intended to give trainers, leaders, and mentors the skills and knowledge needed to create a successful and effective support system for new teachers. Teachers will: Be convinced of the impact he has on the lives of his students. Be prepared to start the first days of school with confidence. Have a well-organized and managed classroom, conducive to learning. Lead a classroom characterized by respect, compassion, and high expectations for student learning and behavior. Create a learning environment that meets the needs of all students.
