Many teachers currently find themselves suddenly at home in quarantine from the coronavirus, and are looking for quality reading materials. I suggest you pick up a copy of one or both of my books. My first book is Chalkboard Champions: Twelve Remarkable Teachers Who Educated America’s Disenfranchised Students. My second book is Chalkboard Heroes: Twelve Courageous Teachers and their Deeds Valor.
These volumes present inspirational life stories about some of America’s most amazing teachers. These educators were not only talented teachers, but they were also pioneers, trailblazers, and social reformers influential in America’s history.
I love to tell stories about outstanding teachers. There are so many phenomenal stories that could be told! I believe that teachers represent the best our country has to offer, and, as a group, they are among the most dedicated, hardworking, and talented people anyone can know. It fills me with joy to be able to share the stories of just a few of the amazing individuals who have made such significant contributions to the lives of so many. And it fills me with pride to know that, every day, talented educators all over the country are making significant contributions to the lives of their students.
These stories will enthrall you, inspire you, and maybe suggest a teaching strategy or two that you can use to improve your own teaching practice. Both are available on amazon.com at a reasonable price. Enjoy!
