Book Description
This book draws together various theoretical and research-based perspectives to examine the institutionalization of mentoring processes for beginning teachers. Teacher induction, defined as the guidance provided to new teachers, is increasingly gaining traction as a key stage in promoting quality education. Major efforts have been put into reducing transitional challenges from being a student teacher to a practicing teacher; optimizing professional relationships and socialization into school dynamics; and increasing teacher retention. Mentoring has been proven to add benefits in assisting beginning teachers during the early years of their teaching career, because it provides the required knowledge and skills to face uncertain school scenarios and the complexities of practice. However, teacher induction programs are not part of regular instruction in many countries. The lack of teacher training during the induction phase might result in lower levels of commitment, professional isolation, or even attrition. This book calls for more concrete mentoring processes for early career teachers, and questions how this can be put into practice.

Book Description
Larry Cubans How Teachers Taught has been widely acclaimed as a pathbreaking text on the history and evolution of classroom teaching. Now Cuban brings his great experience as a classroom teacher, superintendent, and researcher to this highly anticipated follow-up to his groundbreaking work. Focusing on three diverse school districts (Arlington, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; Oakland, California), Hugging the Middle offers an incisive portrayal of how teachers teach now. It is a revealing look at a range of current, workable pedagogical options educators are using to engage students while satisfying parents and policymakersoptions that succeed by creating hybrid practices that combine both teacher-centered approaches (e.g., mostly direct instruction, textbooks, lectures) with student-centered ones (e.g., team projects on real-world problems, independent learning, small-groupwork). This book serves as a state-of-the-profession assessment in an era of top-down educational policy.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate beginning teacher supports in order to discover the most successful components in retaining beginning teachers. The Local Education Agency (LEA) that participated in this study includes rural school settings as well as schools located in more urbanized areas of the district. Beginning teachers with two to six years of teaching experience were asked to participate in this study, as well as beginning teacher mentors, and school administrators within the participating LEA. This study revealed the major finding that strong, supportive relationships between the beginning teacher and the beginning teacher mentor, administrators, and other school staff is a major reason why beginning teachers decide to remain in their classroom. There were other themes identified in this study that provide a better understanding as to why beginning teachers remain in the classroom. Based on the analyzed feedback from this study, suggestions for improving the beginning teacher induction program include ensuring meaningful pairings and physical proximity of beginning teacher and beginning teacher mentor and reevaluation of the program requirements for first year teachers. These findings will hopefully serve as a plan for educational leaders to effectively support and retain beginning teachers in the classrooms. Improvements for the beginning teacher induction program and teacher preparation programs are suggested in an effort to help increase retention rates among our beginning teachers, with the ultimate goal of increasing overall student achievement. These suggestions are based on research results from this study.
