This exceptional handbook is for anyone who is passionate about mentoring our newest generation of music educators-from their time as undergraduate music majors, to their forays as student teachers, and ultimately through their formative first years on the job. Like its companion, Handbook for the Beginning Music Teacher, this volume includes invaluable chapters covering both the practical and theoretical aspects of guiding new educators as they establish successful careers in the profession. This book includes dozens of vignettes written by undergraduate students, co-op teachers, and university supervisors that provide a real-world window to issues related to mentoring. Other special features include forms for mentors to give to pre-service teachers when completing observations in various music classrooms, reflection worksheets for student teachers, checklists for mentor meetings, and even a suggested calendar and discussion topics for meetings between mentors and their educators. Research suggests that the needs of the beginning music teacher are unique compared to general teachers in the field of education, yet up to now there has not been a resource that addresses these unique differences through mentoring. This Handbook is truly a major contribution to the music education profession.
