Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: Favorite Inspiration Teacher Book

[EDWARD NIZALOWSKI <edniz@PRODIGY.NET>]

Mariya,
          I just happened to see a book entitled The Gigantic Book of Teacher's 
Wisdom (Erin Gruwell, Ed.).  Here is a description:
   
  When we look back with fondness at our school years, one teacher always stands 
out. This tremendous compendium of wisdom captures that special relationship. With 
more than 3,000 entries, it includes thoughts on the art of teaching and the 
acquisition of knowledge from hundreds of professors, scholars, politicians, 
celebrities, and more. Some of the famous names represented include Socrates, 
Aristotle, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Helen 
Keller, Freud, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Winston Churchill, and John Lennon. The 
words will educate, amuse, and perhaps even inspire some readers to focus on this 
honorable profession as a lifelong pursuit.  
   
  It is available through Amazon or Ed Hamilton, Bookseller for about $17.

  I'm creating a bibliography of inspirational "teacher" books, both fiction and 
nonfiction, and was hoping this wonderful collective brain could add to the list.

I'm putting things like Educating Esme, My Great Aunt Arizona, Thank You, Mr. 
Falker, Teacher Man, Thirty-Two Third Graders and a Class Bunny, etc. on the list.

Is there something that you read that keeps you centered on the joy of teaching?

I'll post a hit.

THANKS!
