Adolescence, Winter, 2000

MAYNARD, Trisha (Ed.). An Introduction to Primary Mentoring. London: Cassell, 1997. l9Opp. $22.95 (p).

With the emphasis on school-based training growing stronger, everyone involved needs access to a straightforward text which explains and clarifies the educational processes behind mentoring. An Introduction to Primary Mentoring aims to meet this need. The text is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the principles and practices of effective mentoring, and the second focuses specifically on mentoring the core subjects of English, mathematics, and science. Maynard and the contributors to this volume have between them many years' experience of mentoring, and have produced a thorough, accessible and practical book which includes a wide range of activities which may be used to structure and develop trainees' school-based learning.
