Mentoring Across Boundaries

Helping Beginning Teachers Succeed in Challenging Situations

By: Jean Boreen,Donna Niday,Mary K. Johnson

Designed for mentors, administrators, and teacher educators, Mentoring Across Boundaries builds on the foundations of the authors' previous book, Mentoring Beginning Teachers, to explore many of the specific issues that impact the mentoring relationship. While there are general mentoring strategies that apply to nearly all programs, 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. Among the issues the authors explore are: age, gender, and culture in the mentoring relationship; new teachers in urban or rural school environments; veteran teachers moving across buildings or into a new school; teachers working with at-risk students; mentoring "burned-out" teachers; self-mentoring; working with struggling teachers; mentoring through technology. The most recent report from the National Commission on Teacher and America's Future states that "The conventional wisdom is that we can't find enough good teachers. The truth is that we can't keep enough good teachers." Mentoring has proven one of the most effective ways to keep teachers in the field. With Mentoring Across Boundaries in hand, mentors and administrators will find the guidance they need to navigate many of the rough spots that have the potential to derail successful mentoring.

Mentoring Beginning Teachers

Guiding, Reflecting, Coaching

By: Jean Boreen

The first edition of Mentoring Beginning Teachers was named an Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association's Choice magazine in 2000. The expanded second edition -- packed with insights, anecdotes, and updated research -- provides mentors with a road map for helping new teachers become confident, reflective educators. The collaborative model outlined in the book is enlightening and rewarding for the mentor and the novice alike. The authors have incorporated the latest findings on all aspects of mentoring --from preparing to be a mentoring guide or coach to school culture and parent outreach. Teachers will find five new chapters on working with ELL students, working with parents, curriculum mapping, school culture, and the role of administrators within an effective mentoring system. Organized around a series of questions, the book allows mentors to quickly locate practical advice to match any mentoring situation. The range of resources includes: recommendations for pairing mentors and teachers, questions to jump-start conversations, ideas for teacher reflection, and answers to the most commonly asked mentor questions. Mentoring Beginning Teachers, Second Edition provides a comprehensive and tested plan for helping mentors guide new teachers in moving beyond the basics of plan/teach/evaluate to a higher level of joint assessment and inquiry.

A Dossan of Heather

Irish traditional music from Packie Manus Byrne of Donegal for Tin whistle, Fiddle & Flute

By: Stephen Jones,Jean Duval

This is not just another book of Irish session tunes. It represents the relatively unknown repertoire of a single Irish traditional musician, Packie Manus Byrne ofDonegal. There has been considerable interest in the music of Donegal over the past 10 years or so, especially with the rise of groups such as Altan. Packie Manus Byrne is a familiar name to traditional-music lovers in Ireland and the UK, where he enjoyed a successful career as a folk performer for more than 20 years. Almost all these tunes were being played in Packie's home area between 1925 and 1935; the collection is thus something of a time capsule with a unity of origin and style that sets it apart from other collections. The 85 genuine old traditional tunes are being made public for the first time. This unique collection, with all the background information and stories, gives the reader a real sense of the community out of which the music came and the characters who played it. Suitable for fiddle, tin whistle, flute and othertraditional instruments. The online audio download includes 33 of the tunesperformed by Jean Duval, Stephen Jones, Johanne St. Laurent, Lynda Dowker, and Reinhard G�rner on a variety of instruments

Smile Because It Happened

A Memoir

By: Margaret Jean Baptist

Smile Because It Happened is a story of the importance of family bonds and love in enriching the author’s life. The book begins with the author’s childhood bout with osteomyelitis- in her hip. Then she flips back in time to stories about her parents and grandparents before progressing to her childhood, followed by her marriage and their family stories. Most of pieces in the next section were written shortly after the events occurred, though they often invoked childhood memories. Letters to family members who have died are in an In Memory section. The author ends with a letter to her great-great-great grandchildren.
