Foreword by Jeffrey Glanz
"Contributes to the growing richness of mentoring literature by using metaphor to connect the reader in a personal way with the intricacies of mentoring—a powerful catalyst for reflection."
"Very appropriate in mentoring programs that provide ongoing support for mentors. Sets the stage for the reader with a thoughtful, proactive context for carrying on the work of mentoring."
"Mentors who read this book will be challenged to see themselves within the stories. What the text does so well is enable mentors to deeply consider their role and how they live this role within their interactions with new teachers."
"A useful tool in thinking about how best an individual might approach mentoring. In the act of being reflective, a mentor gains the tools needed to guide a new teacher through a complex system of creating an educative-mentoring context, cultivating the dispositions of a successful educator, and guiding a mentee's professional knowledge development."
