Teachers Are Special

A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE, AND INSPIRE All of us can recall a certain teacher—a very special someone—who inspired us to learn. This person is usually a school teacher, but may also be a coach, mentor, parent or friend. Teachers come in many shapes and sizes, but what is it that makes one great? This book gives many answers to this question, from many sources. It includes quotes from famous thinkers, leaders and speakers, as well as letters from little known—yet highly insightful—students and teachers. You will find these comments fun, inspirational and even powerful! This tribute to and for teachers celebrates the special, and often heroic, role they play in their students' lives. Teachers work for love, not money. Yet they often receive too little reimbursement in the form of our gratitude. Teachers are Special is created as a simple way of saying "Thank you" to our most inspiring teachers. Offer it as a gift to a special educator, or read it to remind yourself of the value of learning.
