Heart of a Teacher For a long time I've wanted to publish a book with inspirational stories about how teachers made a difference in the lives of their students; because I know they made a difference in mine! I grew up in Trenton, Tennessee, a small town of 5,000 people. I have wonderful memories of those first 18 years. And during those years there were two teachers who I can say, with certainty, helped to make me who I am today. The first was Ms. Bridges who taught me in the 4th grade. She was amazing! I'll never forget her beautiful smile and her passion for teaching. Get Heart of a Teacher for just $10 today: Click here!

She made learning so much fun and made all of us feel like we could do anything we wanted to do. The positive seeds she planted in my head are still growing! Then there was Fred Culp, my history teacher in high school. To this day, he is still the funniest person I've ever met. In addition to loving his history class, he taught me that a sense of humor, especially laughing at yourself, can be one of life's greatest blessings. So, if you're a teacher or if, like me, your life was greatly influenced by a teacher, you're going to love this book! The inspirational stories, the photographs, the quotes and Paula Fox's original poems will find a special place in your heart. The new school year is fast approaching! Welcome your teachers back with these thoughtful, inspiring words. The book begins with a beautiful poem by the author, Paula Fox, called Heart of a Teacher. Enjoy! An excerpt from Heart of a Teacher by Paula Fox The child arrives like a mystery box... with puzzle pieces inside some of the pieces are broken or missing... and others just seem to hide But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out... and help the child to see the potential for greatness he has within... a picture of what he can be Her goal isn't just to teach knowledge... by filling the box with more parts it's putting the pieces together... to create a work of art The process is painfully slow at times... some need more help than others each child is a work in progress... with assorted shapes and colors First she creates a classroom... where the child can feel safe in school where he never feels threatened or afraid to try... and kindness is always the rule She knows that a child can achieve much more when he feels secure inside when he's valued and loved... and believes in himself... and he has a sense of pride She models and teaches good character... and respect for one another how to focus on strengths...not weaknesses... and how to encourage each other She gives the child the freedom he needs... to make choices on his own so he learns to become more responsible... and is able to stand alone He's taught to be strong and think for himself as his soul and spirit heal and the puzzle that's taking shape inside... has a much more positive feel The child discovers the joy that comes from learning something new... and his vision grows as he begins to see all the things that he can do A picture is formed as more pieces fit... an image of the child within with greater strength and confidence... and a belief that he can win! All because a hero was there... in the HEART of a teacher who cared enabling the child to become much more... than he ever imagined...or dared A teacher with a HEART for her children... knows what teaching is all about she may not have all the answers... but on this...she has no doubt When asked which subjects she loved to teach, she answered this way and smiled... "It's not the subjects that matter... It's all about teaching the CHILD" © Paula Fox 2008 Heart of a Teacher with Free DVD movie is a great gift to give any teacher to kick off the new school year and it is on sale today for just $10.
