Sommario/riassunto

This book features novice teachers and how they were, or were not, mentored or inducted by schools. Using data collected over a three-year period, the cases inform school principals and district-level administrators of situations promoting or hindering new teacher growth, in order to lower attrition rates and foster student achievement.
