Subsequent chapters discuss mentoring and socialization of administrative interns, assistant principals, new principals and mid-career administrators. The final chapter discusses the organizational planning, selection, training, matching, and evaluation aspects of implementing mentor programs. (Contains 175 references.) (LH)
