A useful guide for teacher mentors as they face new and difficult challenges in their work

New teachers often struggle to apply their knowledge in real-world settings, and the idea of mentoring these teachers during their first years in the classroom has captured the imagination of schools all over the world. Drawn from the experiences over the last twenty years of the New Teacher Center, the book illuminates the subtleties and struggles of becoming an excellent, effective mentor. The book discusses the five big tensions of mentoring: developing a new identity, developing trusting relationships, accelerating teacher growth, mentoring in challenging contexts, and learning leadership skills.

  • Describes in-depth the most common challenges of the mentor role
  • A wonderful guide for both new and veteran mentors
  • Includes engaging firsthand narratives written by mentors working in a variety of settings

This book is from the New Teacher Center, an organization whose highly respected mentor training model has served over 50,000 teachers nationwide. The New Teacher Center is dedicated to improving student learning by accelerating the effectiveness of teachers and school leaders through comprehensive mentoring and professional development programs.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Drawing from the more than twenty years of experience of the New Teacher Center, Mentoring Teachers illuminates the subtleties and struggles of becoming an excellent and effective mentor. Step-by-step, the book outlines how people develop and grow as mentors, and the authors share the following five "tensions" as the key areas of focus:

  • Tension 1: Building a New Identity

  • Tension 2: Developing Trusting Relationships

  • Tension 3: Accelerating Teacher Development

  • Tension 4: Mentoring in Challenging Contexts

  • Tension 5: Learning Leadership Skills

Praise for Mentoring Teachers

"The authors deeply understand what it means to be a mentor in all its complexity. Written with compassion and insight, they face the tough issues." —Jon Saphier, founder, Research for Better Teaching, Inc.; author, The Skillful Teacher

"A compelling view of what it means to teach and help others learn to do so. This book should be read not only by teachers and mentors but also by administrators, policy makers, and legislators." —Anna E. Richert, professor, Mills School of Education; director, Mills Teacher Scholars

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible. Filled with lofty stories and general ideas, without anything concrete or useful in the entire book.
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
This book is horrible. It describes lofty "tensions" that mentors experience transitioning from teacher to mentor, but never provides anything meaningful in the entire book. It will address working in challenging contexts and experiences of mentors working in difficult schools, but doesn't ever provide any techniques, recommendations or specific strategies. In one chapter, the book described a mentor who avoided the administration unless they had candy or chocolate to break the ice. How ridiculous...

The book has interesting case studies to explore how you might respond in given situations, but fails to provide the tools to know what a mentor should or should not be doing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mentoring teachers
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011
Among the items I taught at Stanford Law School was negotiation and also developing young lawyers. This book involves and explains the techniques for traing teachers but really has a much broader application. I believe it is highly useful reding for people in the business world who have to train and integrate new executives and employees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mentoring - as a process
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2011
A great book that uses compelling examples to explain the various phases of mentoring -- and there's no doubt that knowing more about the process will ensure a better mentoring program and experience. The appendix at the back is a great resource too.

There are no page numbers making it particularly hard to cite and to re-find citations. It is simply not very user friendly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what it appears to be
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2020

What a wasted purchase. Ridiculously over priced with no actual insight or suggestions. I wish this had been advertised differently as it reads like a summary of a discussion about mentoring, rather than a how to manual.
