| TeachersCount |
For those looking to pursue a rewarding career in teaching or those currently in the teaching profession, this is the book for you! So to Teach: Inspiring Stories that Touch the Heart, is a book that offers teachers and prospective teachers a source of wisdom, hope, and encouragement. So to Teach speaks to the frustration teachers feel throughout their professional lives. Faced with the burden of crowded classrooms, declining public support and unappreciative students, teachers are expected to ameliorate the lives of their students without consistently receiving accolades for their efforts. Yet educators may find encouragement in So to Teach, which emphasizes the idea that teachers can have an extraordinary and long-lasting impact on their students’ achievement—and their lives. Offering inspirational stories, this book is a must-read for educators who feel they are losing momentum and their ability to effect positive change. The stories display teachers’ dedication to their profession with many opportunities for laughter, as well. So to Teach reminds teachers of the reasons they entered the profession in the first place and the wonderful contributions they make every day. |
Education Review |
Teachers have stories — stories about teaching and learning that
keep them motivated and refreshed. They don't often share these stories,
but occasionally, the situation is ripe and you will have the unique
opportunity to share in a treasured recollection. The stories give
credence to why a person would continue in such a demanding profession.
Sometimes, the story tells of a situation where the teacher was rewarded
in a way that comes from making a positive difference in a life.
Sometimes, the stories are sad and regretful of opportunities missed.
Kathie-Jo Arnoff has collected such stories from "Telling Stories" in
the Kappa Delta Pi Record and from New Teacher Advocate.
The authors of the stories are classroom teachers. |
