From First-Year to First Rate : Principals Guiding Beginning Teachers (2 Revised edition)

From First-Year to First-Rate - Second Edition is written as a handbook for administrators who want to develop a first-year teacher induction plan.

The book provides a profile of the beginning teacher's needs, expectations, common problems, and transition issues.

A framework for structuring year-long assistance and strategies for problem solving are included.

The authors propose ideas for the initial orientation, the selection and training of mentors, and strategies for measuring programme success and integrating induction and career-long development. The changes reflected in the Second Edition include greater attention to the common problems of beginning teachers, principals' self-assessment tools, and suggestions for integrating induction in career-long development.

The Second Edition also includes more "voices" of first-year teachers as well as updated references.
