Inspiration for Educators and Noneducators Alike

I liked the premise of the book. As a teacher, I found it very inspiring to read the thoughts and words of fellow educators. That these educators have been recognized for their excelence at some level only makes it that much better. I did not agree with every quote, but even tha ones I disagreed with made me think. This is a book for any teacher. And the insights into the way teachers think also make it a great read for any nonteachers, as well.

Super source of educational quotes

I am an elementary school administrator who purchased this book as a gift to my school's Teacher of the Year. It is a great resource of educational quotes by Teachers of the Year from all over the United States (mostly national and state winners, but a few system winners as well). The quotes are organized by topic. Imagine my surprise to find numerous quotes from my state's former Teachers of the Year, whom I've personally met. I'm sure you'll find names that are familiar to your area. The quotes constitute a good mixture of the positive and the negative aspects of education. You'll find humorous anecdotes, inspirational passages, and heart-rendering recollections... What I love about this book is. . . .it is not filled with words of education experts or critics, these are the words of teachers - the best of our profession! And overwhelmingly, these teachers LOVE what they do. A great read, a great gift!
