A Passion for Teaching

Summary: Renew Hope
Review: I am a college student majoring in education and I had to read A Passion for Teacher for a class. When I first picked this book I didn't even open the cover. I felt the title of the book said enough for me to know it was something I wanted to read. Now that I have read the book I am so glad I went with my first feelings about this book. It was so refreshing to hear positive comments from veteran teachers about teaching. Each excerpt spoke to me and had something I needed to hear. There are quotes in this book that I will reflect back on throughout my career. In a time where schools and the teaching profession are thought of as less than desireable, this book gives me a true desire to continue my education and teach simply for the love of teaching! Bravo to all of these veteran teachers!

Summary: A Passion for Teaching
Review: I am a Macon State College student majoring in education and I read A Passion for Teaching for a class. I really enjoyed this book because I felt as though I was able to peek into the lives of different teachers. It was like I was reading their personal journals on why they teach and how they are able to stay passionate about the profession. I also enjoyed this book because it was easy to read. I found this book useful because it proved that after spending several years in the classroom, teachers can remain excited and passionate about teaching. The one thing I didn't like, however, was that there were no articles from a middle or high school math teacher's point of view.

Summary: A must have for new or veteran teachers!
Review: I am attending Macon State College and I chose this book to read and give an oral presentation on. I could not put it down! I laughed, cried and cheered for the teachers and students in this book. It is very inspirational and would be a great book to have on your desk to pick up and read anytime. It is written in short stories so you can read one story or several. I love it, and I will cherish it for years to come.
