Mentors, Masters & Mrs. MacGregor
Stories of Teachers Making a Difference
compiled by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.
Remember that special teacher who touched your heart and mind, who inspired you, believed in you, or maybe just gave you a glimpse of what you might achieve and who you might become?
This book honors teachers, as well as counselors, coaches and other special adults in children’s lives, and the impact these special people can have on the young lives they touch.
Here are entertaining, inspiring and moving stories from people of all ages, all professions and all backgrounds. Some are famous—Jimmy Carter, Les Brown, Dave Barry, Shari Lewis, Steve Allen, Joe Paterno, Zig Ziglar, Bernie Siegel, Leo Buscaglia and many well-known educators and authors—while others are ordinary folks with extraordinary stories.
The
book includes delightful comments from kids around the world with their
ideas about what makes a really great teacher.
Winner, Athena Award for Excellence in Mentorship (Best Book)
This is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. Each and every story reminded me why I had become a teacher...
—Jack Canfield, Co-Author, Chicken Soup for the Soul
Wonderfully Accurate and Awe-Inspiring! Written for both teachers and students, this book is ideal for anyone who’s ever felt the impact of another person’s influence on their soul. This book proves that there truly are teachers out there who can inspire a student to live their dreams!
