2The Teacher's Book of Days is a motivational and inspirational book for individuals who work with young people, in public or private schools, youth organizations, sports, or for parents. The book is authored by a university professor, who has taught all ages; worked with children in clubs, scouts, and sports; currently teaches teachers; and who is a parent herself. It is for all adults who are entrusted with young lives. Written in a readable format, the book is a combination of informative and thought-provoking daily readings designed to encourage the reader and help them through their busy and oftentimes stressful days with uplifting, motivational and informative thoughts, gleaned from the writings of educators past and present and personal experience. The passages are not written for any particular year and therefore the book is marketable year after year. Teachers often do not receive the encouragement they need. This is even truer today in an atmosphere of test scores, shrinking budgets, and students growing up in less than ideal circumstances. It is designed to not only encourage, but to empower. Teachers can buy this book for themselves or as gifts for colleagues and friends. Parents may buy this book as tokens of appreciation for their child's teacher. Districts may give it to teachers during appreciation week or have it available in onsite libraries for staff members to read or to quote from for daily announcements. Universities may give it to graduating future teachers. The potential is great for this book's success.
