About the Book

Making Mentoring Work is a practical guide for school leaders interested in beginning or enhancing their mentoring programs for new teachers. Readers can use the mentoring program rubric to pre-assess their program and then choose the chapters that correspond to areas of growth. Each chapter provides background research as well as practical steps and tools to make mentoring work in a school environment. At the end of each section, readers will find discussion guides that support program leaders in making the next steps; organizing conversations with stakeholders that will transform and streamline new teacher support programs; and increase new teacher retention and practice.

Review :
Every school district and county office of education should order this book for principals, mentors, and teacher leaders interested in starting or improving induction programs for new teachers in their schools. Davis provides a thorough, step-by-step approach for induction program design using insights from research and her own extensive experience as teacher and mentor. There is no better how-to book on teacher induction. If you could buy a stock and know for certain that it will increase in value, wouldn’t you? What about investing in teachers new to the profession? Emily Davis is an established national expert in teacher induction and mentoring, and through this book, Emily describes exactly how you can invest in new teachers. Read Making Mentoring Work, and your investment will pay off through more competent, joyful teachers and improved student achievement—and make your job as a leader more rewarding. Reading Making Mentoring Work is like having a coaching conversation with an expert colleague. Davis situates pertinent strategies and advice in the context of a research-based theoretical framework, and she ensures that theory grows legs by providing examples, data, and practices to make it jump into the classroom. Her clear and lively style keeps the pages turning. A must-read for school and district leaders and instructional mentors! This is clearly a must-read for educational leaders charged with creating a comprehensive professional development system for teachers! This practical, user-friendly resource outlines how to create a structure to support quality mentoring as part of a comprehensive professional development system. I love Dr. Davis' “Discussion Guide” after each chapter! It's designed to help leaders focus on what's most important in accelerating a teacher's development in order to positively impact student learning.
