induction of new teachers by providing a variety of forums for
those involved in mentoring to share their experiences with
others, (3) to promote and provide effective training for new
teacher mentors, (4) to establish mentoring of new teachers
as the norm in schools, (5) to establish, through mentoring,
the norms of collegiality, collaboration and continuous professional
development in schools.
