Mentoring Across Boundaries Helping Beginning Teachers Succeed in Challenging Situations

31 Boreen, J. Niday, D. 2003 Mentoring Across Boundaries Helping Beginning Teachers Succeed in Challenging Situations While many mentoring strategies have general application, say the authors of the new book Mentoring Across Boundaries: Helping Beginning Teachers Succeed in Challenging Situations (Stenhouse, 2003), the success of any individual mentoring situation is affected by the relationship between mentor and mentee, the school environment, the mentee's stage of career, and other influences like age, gender, culture, and the school's physical setting. As Jean Boreen and her colleagues note, the real issue facing American schools is not finding good teachers but supporting teachers through their formative stages and helping them discover the confidence and resilience they need to make teaching a career. Like many Stenhouse books, the complete text of Mentoring Across Boundaries can be perused online. Citation: Boreen, J. & Niday, D. (2003).
