""The evidence presented in this book tells a salutary tale about the challenges faced by novice early childhood teachers as they embark on their career in the early childhood profession. Laura describes how, in the main, these teachers receive little or no support and are essentially, left to sink or swim. Unfortunately, these challenges are not unique to early childhood teachers in British Columbia, and are replicated in many countries internationally. However, the book presents a way forward. Directed toward policy makers, the broader ECEC community, the workplace setting, and the beginning early childhood teacher, the Doan future focused model of mentoring offers hope for existing and future early childhood teachers."" --Mary Moloney, Assistant Professor in Early Childhood Care and Education, Mary Immaculate College, Ireland
