This professional development guide for Mentor Leaders draws on the work of Shoen (reflective practice), Noddings (philosophy and teaching), Vygotsky (social constructivism), Dewey (democratic education), and others. The many facets of becoming a Mentor Leader are explored, including the five key elements: professional community/agency/empowerment; strong affiliative relationships; integration of theory and practice; integration of learning through inquiry; and learning to foster and provoke uncertainty, ambiguity, and change.
