Designed around James B.

Workshop facilitators will be able to introduce the author's high-performance mentoring framework and engage participants in discussions about:

- The four stages of the mentoring relationship

- Understanding beginning teachers and related learning levels

- Methods to increase mentor/mentee commitment

- The influence of beliefs on the mentoring process

- Mentoring as a path to professional growth

The multimedia kit for Becoming a High-Performance Mentor provides a mentor-teacher beliefs inventory and mentoring scenarios and includes:

- The companion book, Becoming a High-Performance Mentor, which details the author's proven approach for developing outstanding mentor-teachers

- A 47-minute, content-rich VHS video that features James B. Rowley discussing the essentials of high-performance mentoring and shows mentors demonstrating practical mentoring strategies

- A companion DVD with navigation menu for easy stop-and-search control of the video content

- A step-by-step facilitator's guide that connects the core content of the book to the video/DVD and includes segment prompts, workshop outlines, extended workshop activities, key points, and discussion questions

This all-in-one package is indispensable for mentor program coordinators, trainers, staff developers, and principals who want to broaden and strengthen the knowledge, skills, and values of their mentor-teachers.
