Teaching Is… Blurb:
Teaching is made up of a series of moments. Moments that are memorable disappear all too quickly, almost unnoticed. Other moments linger, but are soon forgotten.
Memorable moments are the fuel for a teacher’s passion to teach, and to continue to teach when the challenges are almost overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable.
This book is a series of moments that inspire and motivate teachers to make a difference in spite of insurmountable challenges.
Book Review:
As a retired teacher-turned-writer, I found this book to be an absolute treasure as it brought back so many memories for me. My first thought was to order several copies of the book to give as gifts to teacher friends of mine – and that is exactly what I did! This book makes a wonderful gift for any teacher at any grade level.
Teaching Is…punctuated my own efforts to celebrate good teachers everywhere in my latest book. I found it to be the perfect complement to my work. I am certain that parents and students would love to know that there is a lovely gift waiting to be given to a favorite teacher.
Marjan Glavac ends this marvelous little book with these words:
Teaching Is…Leaving school on a late Friday night exhausted, but knowing deep down that you made a difference.
There is nothing more left to say except…Amen to that!
