Whether in the context of a formal district-mandated program or in a grassroots effort, mentoring depends on the development of trust, respect, and communication between mentor and protégé. To be a mentor means to have a vision and enable others to participate in the vision and to go on to be mentors themselves. In this updated second edition, author Cheryl Sullivan expands on contemporary mentoring--its role as wise counselor in teacher induction and for administrative advancement--and examines new approaches evolving to help master a field that requires hard work and talent. Mentors and protégés, wannabes and maybes--all can benefit from Sullivan's direct, on-the-mark delineation of the guidelines and ideas for adults in mentoring roles in the 21st century.
