About this eBook
Mentoring Matters, A Practical Approach to fostering Reflective Practices, gives insight into the author’s experiences and the knowledge given to him by other seasoned teachers to help him succeed not only in the classroom but with his students. All too often, we read about what a mentor can do to help the mentee, but not so often is it about giving new teachers strategies on how they can assist their students, and that is what the author of this book conveys. Furthermore, this book provides real-world information on how your students may respond to you and assist you as well. For example, the author uses the art of storytelling to tell the story of Alice Smith, a recent college graduate at the start of her first teaching assignment. The purpose of her story is to cause you to think, reflect, and examine your instructional practice to foster the art of being a reflective practitioner. More importantly, the author gives the reader a basis in which to start an ongoing dialogue with their mentor about developing best practices for themselves as new teachers that will affect every aspect of an educator’s career. The tone of this book is sincere and genuine, with useful information to ponder over. This book is a must-read for all new teachers as well as veteran teachers looking to get a fresh take on teaching and learning.
