FOR THE LOVE OF TEACHERS is a tribute to those who possess the remarkable ability to exercise patience and understanding and to offer guidance along an unfamiliar path. The influence these dedicated teachers have is reflected in many of the goals their students set and achieve every day; whether learning to tie their shoes, memorising multiplication tables, or excelling on the SATs-all basic steps which are vital to their growth and self-esteem. For this reason, among many others, the importance of these positive role models in our children's lives, as well as our own, can't be stressed enough. FOR THE LOVE OF TEACHERS is the ideal way to express the admiration and appreciation we share for them.
The reasons why someone chooses to teach isn't always clear, but what many teachers have in common is the desire to make a difference in the lives of others-a task that can be bittersweet. FOR THE LOVE OF TEACHERS is filled with inspiring stories that do just that. Some are warm, humorous, and heartfelt, while others illustrate difficult or unexpected situations with the lessons learned along the way. Readers will identify with many of the students who recall that special teacher who challenged them to find their hidden talent, motivated them to push a little harder, or to simply surpass their own expectations.
FOR THE LOVE OF TEACHERS is a special way of saying thanks to all the teachers who've sacrificed their time to better the lives of others.
