Overview

Making Mentoring Work should help educators to mentor or to be mentored effectively in our schools. We all have had mentors, those key adults from family, work, or schools who have assisted us in learning and becoming good adults, skilled and able professionals, and contributing member of community and society. Although it’s not easy, it does occur, is doable, and this book seeks to help everyone – educators, in particular -- both to be mentored and to be a mentor. In fact, the authors believe and show that everyone needs mentoring and many have the capacity, knowledge, and savvy to be a helpful mentor to others in their field, school, and world.
