    Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales: 101 Inspirational Stories from Great Teachers and Appreciative Students

    By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen & Amy Newmark
    400 Pages (Paperback)
    Date Published: February 2, 2010

    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    This 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.

    MY REVIEW:

    I thought this book was cute and funny, even though I am not a teacher! It reminded me that teachers are people too, as so often students forget just as kids forget that their parents were once young. I love that I can pick this book up anytime and read a short story to cheer me up or make me laugh. The stories are from both new and experienced teachers so you get to see both ends of the spectrum. It also covers good and bad kids, funny and embarrassing moments, and stories of bonding.

    Not all of the stories are funny at first, but they do make you smile and are inspirational. One of my favorite stories is called “The White Car,” and is about a teacher who accidently hit a 9 year old boy who later ended up in her high school classroom! (They joked and bonded that year.) I think this book would make an especially great gift for any teacher, but then again I enjoyed it as a mom!

    BUY IT: You can find Chicken Soup for the Soul: at your local bookstore or at Amazon . You can also check out the Chicken Soup for the Soul website for more information and you can even submit your own stories there!

      I love the Chicken Soup Teenage Trilogy! Being 19, the majority of stories in the book hit home with me! & Considering I’m going to college to become a teacher; this book would be great, as well! 🙂

      I liked the ‘Pure Love’ book and it was a good read. I like the fact that it doesn’t have to be read chronologically and you can just read a story here and there.

      I find Chicken Soup for the Soul: Devotional Stories for Women very interesting. The Teacher version is the one that I have been wanting as I am a 23 year veteran of the classroom and was a finalist for our state teacher of the year in 1999.

      I think that reading Chicken Soup For The Soul: Mothers And Daughters, or the True Love one, would be very interesting! These books are so very inspirational, since a great variety of people have written the entries!
