Chicken Soup for the Soul released Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales in February 2010. Included in this book are over 100 stories from teachers and students.
Do you have a favorite teacher that inspired you to be your best, or one that made learning fun? Looking back on my school years I am lucky to say that I had numerous teachers that made a positive impact on my life and helped to shape the person I am.

Here is a brief description of this book: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales (Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, February 02 2010) 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. 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.

Just like I had many teachers who inspired me (and still inspire me to this day), I had many favorite short stories in this book. Being a teacher is a powerful responsibility. I loved too many of these stories to pick a favorite, or even a top 5. Now that I have my daughter I am so aware of what an impact teachers make on our children.

This is a definite ‘must have’ book for all teachers. If you want to get your teacher something special to say thank-you, I suggest you get this book.

This is available for purchase online from Amazon.ca for $12.24 or Amazon.com for $10.17.
