It also can inspire you to look forward to the adventures we endure during our teaching careers! Glavac touched my heart with this book and brought back such sweet and funny memories for me! I highly recommend this book for all educators!</p><p>---</p><p>As a teacher, I found myself nodding, laughing, crying as I read each of the unique statements in the book. I would HIGHLY recommend this book for any teacher.<br /> It would make a great "Thank you" gift for a teacher as well.</p><p>---</p><p>Once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Each page was like reading one of my teaching experiences. He was able to capture the wide variety of emotions that a teacher goes through and why teachers keep teaching. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any teacher, friend of a teacher or teacher spouse!</p><p>---<br /> <br /> He has done it again! Marjan Glavac has written an, "Oh my! I NEEDED that today!" book.<br /> Do you need something to touch your soul, make you laugh, remind you of all the whys that got you in to teaching? Do you have a colleague who could use a bit of compassion? With unique pictures and messages, each page of Teaching Is... can stand on its own. Don't be surprised if you earmark your favorite pages. I plan to use the various pages of the book before and after our professional learning sessions as a way to monitor how teachers are doing and to help plan future learning opportunities.</p><p>---</p><p>This was a beautifully done book that any teacher will appreciate. With both my wife, mother, father and many others in my family being educators, I have to say that all of the sentiments shared in this were ones that they (and I) could relate to easily. Saying this though, any person will come to a better understanding and appreciation for the work that teachers do in looking at the short thoughts shared by the author.</p><p>---</p><p>I truly can see this book being shared as a special gift for any teacher or teacher to be. I know that all will be impressed when you read this book!</p><p>---</p><p>What a wonderful book to read whether you are a Master Teacher or a New Teacher!

I highly recommend this book for all educators!</p><p>---</p><p>This book draws on years of teaching experience to portray the magic, joy, and struggles of being a teacher. It's filled with pictures and short parables from his own experience.<br /> <br /> For example: <br /> "Teaching Is... Getting a hug from the toughest student in your class on the last day of school...when no one else is looking."<br /> Or<br /> "Teaching Is... Asking your principal to listen to a child assessed 3 years below grade level read to him in his office and showing him the text the student will be reading...and then naming the student and seeing the look of amazement on your principal's face."<br /> ---<br /> It's a simple book, a small amount of text on each page but it ranges from poignant to funny and had me laughing and tearing up as I remembered my own teachers and as I thought of my own, often thankless, role as a teacher to my children. True teachers are a lot like mothers, caring, nurturing, and growing children. They're dream builders and I identify with that.</p><p> </p><br>
