The Dilbert collection that showcases the best of The Boss. Every office worker can relate to this hilarious embodiment of corporate leadership. In I Sense a Coldness to Your Mentoring, the ongoing torture that The Boss wreaks on his helpless underlings is played out in full. From a total lack of mentoring skills to clueless budget requests and pointless, mind-numbing endless meetings, The Boss makes office life for Dilbert, Wally, Alice, and his secretary a living hell with cubicle walls. “Once every decade, America is gifted with an angst-ridden anti-hero, a Nietzschean nebbish, an us-against-the-universe everyperson around whom our insecurities collect like iron shavings to a magnet. Charlie Chaplin. Dagwood Bumstead. Charlie Brown. Cathy. Now, Dilbert.” —The Miami Herald “Confined to their cubicles in a company run by idiot bosses, Dilbert and his white-collar colleagues make the dronelike world of Kafka seem congenial.” —The New York Times

Realistic and practical advice for parents of college-age kids. Parents whose kids are away at college have a tough tightrope to walk: they naturally want to stay connected to their children, yet they also need to let go. What's more, kids often send mixed messages: they crave space, but they rely on their parents' advice and assistance. Not surprisingly, it's hard to know when it's appropriate to get involved in your child's life and when it's better to back off. You're On Your Own (But I'm Here If You Need Me) helps parents identify the boundaries between necessary involvement and respect for their child's independence.

Women in all seasons of life can feel alone, longing for encouragement, guidance, and wisdom from someone who has been there before. They would value the wealth of knowledge and wisdom from older women's experiences, but often these women don't feel equipped to offer help. This book is a starting place, meant to be a springboard for mentoring discussions between older and younger women, setting the biblical basis for mentoring from Titus 2 before outlining 11 lessons that guide their time together. Each lesson focuses on a topic such as God's word, prayer, contentment, temptation, and church, with activities for before, during, and after the mentoring session. Younger and older women will grow together as they use these lessons to walk through life together. Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition.

An evidence-informed guide to effective mentoring in initial teacher education. Reflecting the 2024 ITE Criteria and latest inspection framework, it is perfect for HE lecturers in education and Initial Teacher Education (ITE) mentors within schools. Accessibly written, it covers the most recent developments in ITE policy and the evolving roles and responsibilities of the school-based mentor. From 2024, mentors are required to undertake significantly more training than previously, and ITE partnerships are required to develop the role of lead mentor. This timely book supports ITE partnerships and individual mentors in navigating these changes. It prepares readers by outlining the relevant developments in ITE policy, specifically looking at the implications for the roles and responsibilities of mentors. This book emphasises the shift for ITE mentors from the role of 'assessor' to teacher development. Each chapter is enriched with evidence-informed research and critical questions. Topics include: the ITE curriculum, inclusive, phase- and subject-specific mentoring, trainee progress, the principles and models of generic mentoring, and mentoring early career teachers. There is also a chapter dedicated to supporting trainee's workload and mental health including DfE guidance on reducing workload for trainees, reducing cognitive load, and pastoral care in ITE.
