The book is teacher-friendly, easy to read, positive, and full of suggestions. The mentor application, interest inventories, and evaluation forms provided also make it an excellent resource book. Strategies on writing mission statements, goals, and objectives will help the reader build confidence in developing successful proposals to fund mentoring programs. The recruitment strategies, screening strategies, process and outcome evaluation questions, and the 20-step Replicable Model will benefit readers concerned with enhancing the effectiveness of existing mentoring programs. This book was designed to meet the needs of K-12 teachers, K-12 school administrators, case managers in the juvenile justice system, as well as members of nonprofit organizations who work with students at risk.
