Take a new entry level staff person and team that person with an experienced staff member who demonstrates effective interpersonal skills, self- confidence, and enjoys spending time with others, “mix well” over time and according to Mary Nolan, you have a wonderful Mentor Coach and Protégé process.
In her new book, Mentor Coaching and Leadership in Early Care and Education, Thomson Delmar (2007), Dr. Nolan shares a variety of perspectives and views on this important mentor/protégé relationship and how it evolves, develops, and ultimately supports the professional and personal growth of new staff members!
A focal point to this new book is the importance of the adult-adult interactions in Early Care and Education programs and how this very important component is often overlooked. We often focus our attention on children, curriculum, observations, activities, and maintaining our perspective on what is appropriate and beneficial for the programs that we miss the opportunity to nurture the adult-adult interactions and relationships.
Mentor Coaching! Take a look.
