101 Inspirational Stories from Great Teachers and Appreciative StudentsThis is a great gift for new and experienced teachers, providing them a morale boost and the knowledge they are appreciated. The teaching industry has embraced this book, and more than half the stories are from “celebrity” teachers, including all of the 2009 State Teachers of the Year and the 2009 National Teacher of the Year. There is a lot of buzz about this book in the teaching industry and those teachers who don’t receive it as a gift are sure to buy it for themselves, to read these 101 true stories by great teachers and appreciative students, with lots of laughs, poignant moments, and some tears too.
I found Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales to be another great title from the Chicken Soup for the Soul family of books. Just like all of the others I’ve read, you can open this book up at any point and start reading. You do not have to start at page one. Start on page 50 if you like. Then skip ahead to page 114, then back to page 3. It’s actually kind of fun, try it!
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales: 101 Inspirational Stories from Great Teachers and Appreciative Students starts off with a forward from Anthony J. Mullen who won National Teacher of the Year as well as Connecticut State Teacher of the Year in 2009! From there it goes on to fun titles like First Year Drama, Tales from the Rappin’ Mathematician and a whole bunch more.
There are some super funny and inspirational stories in this book and it kept me entertained for hours. This is definitely a must read from the Chicken Soup for the Soul family!
