The Portable Mentor (Corwin Press, 2008 - Second Edition)
The Portable Mentor provides detailed information about the day-to-day tasks that principals routinely encounter. Designed around a nine-month school year, the content is correlated to the 2008 ISLLC standards for school leaders. The Portable Mentor describes techniques for improving organizational and communication skills, along with methods for nurturing the mentoring relationship and using a balanced approach to leading and managing. One section is devoted to research-based strategies for improving academic achievement.
This text is an especially valuable resource for beginning principals, as it offers strategies and tips for mastering the leadership and management challenges of the school leader.
Readers will also find information on short-term and long-term administrative responsibilities and help in planning for the second year as principal.
As an added bonus, graduate students engaged in school leader preparation programs reported that book helped them prepare for job interviews.
