This book will be a valuable asset for all those involved in teacher training and mentoring. The book's structure in outlining the standards and providing real-life examples of good and bad practice and some possible strategies to consider is easy to follow. I can also see schools using it as a tool to help structure performance management reviews, especially with those staff in need of particular support. We can all learn from Mentoring in Schools, both when recognising mistakes in managing situations and in celebrating successes when we read sections and think, -˜I do that!'
I imagine there will soon be many annotated copies of Haili's book on staff bookshelves, and I for one will ensure I have a copy in my briefcase as I visit schools.
