Reviews
"Ellen Moir and her colleagues are world leaders in teacher mentoring. Tens of thousands of children and young people would be far worse off had it not been for the significantly better classrooms that their well-mentored teachers have created. Moir and all those at the New Teacher Center know how to do mentoring, how to improve mentoring, and how to achieve all this on an immense scale. Here, they show just how well they can write about mentoring too. If you are a teacher or want to help one, then read this book! Its rigorous, evidence-based analysis and riveting prose will inspire you, inform you, and spur you on to do even greater things for your own and other teachers' students." -- Andy Hargreaves , Brennan Chair in Education, Boston College, "A combination of theory and practice makes this book particularly useful to educators who are responsible for the success of new teachers. The wisdom, experience, and dedication of the authors ensures that the field has a book that will endure as a valued resource for decades." -- Stephanie Hirsh , executive director, National Staff Development Council, "One of the biggest challenges facing educational leaders today is finding strategies to keep our best and brightest teachers in our nation's classrooms. Mentoring new and veteran teachers is critical to meeting that challenge. New Teacher Mentoring: Hopes and Promise for Improving Teacher Effectiveness is a must read for educators who are serious about transforming America's classrooms." -- Beverly L. Hall , superintendent, Atlanta Public Schools and 2009 National Superintendent of the Year

Synopsis
In this practical yet visionary book, Ellen Moir and her colleagues at the New Teacher Center review what current research suggests (and doesn't) about the power of welldesigned mentoring programs to shape teacher and student outcomes., In this practical yet visionary book, Ellen Moir and her colleagues at the New Teacher Center review what current research suggests (and doesn't) about the power of welldesigned mentoring programs to shape teacher and student outcomes. Teacher quality is the single most important lever schools have for raising student achievement. A substantial body of research indicates that new teachers are less able than their more experienced colleagues to help students fulfill their academic potential. Yet in many school districts--particularly those in urban settings--as many as half of the teachers may have less than five years' experience. In addition, the students who face the greatest challenges are most likely to be assigned novice teachers. By supporting new teachers, increasing their effectiveness, and reducing turnover, school districts can give the children most in need of high-quality teaching a real chance at success. The authors set forth the principles of high-quality instructional mentoring and describe the elements of a rigorous professional development program. Detailed case studies show how these principles can be applied at the district level and highlight the opportunities and challenges involved in implementing these programs in different contexts. The book makes a powerful case for using new teacher mentoring as an entry point for creating a strong professional culture with a shared, aligned understanding of high-quality teaching. From Teachers College Record " New Teacher Mentoring: Hopes and Promise for Improving Teacher Effectiveness should be required reading for all school district human resource directors, mentoring and induction program coordinators, and other school leaders. Moir, Barlin, Gless, and Miles provide the reader with powerful and compelling evidence for the value of high-quality mentoring programs based on their work at the New Teacher Center. They also remind the reader of the importance of the bottom line: 'When mentors help new teachers develop their skills in reaching the hearts and minds of students in the classrooms, new teachers remain in the classroom longer and are better able to help children, especially the most underserved kids, succeed at levels that defy expectation' (pp. 2-3). And isn't that what it's all about?" --excerpt from book review in Teachers College Record, June 2010., In this practical yet visionary book, Ellen Moir and her colleagues at the New Teacher Center review what current research suggests (and doesn't) about the power of welldesigned mentoring programs to shape teacher and student outcomes.

- 2***0 (129)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!
- a***p (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (#396258036329)
