Because of a Teacher: Stories of the Past to Inspire the Future of Education

George Couros has assembled an all-star lineup of educators in his latest project and readers will revisit this book for years to come. I thought of this book like a new and improved flipped faculty meeting where "Principal Couros" shifted the paradigm of a typical faculty meeting with total inspiration. His faculty is an assembly of educators sharing the world-changing work of other educators in their respective journeys. This book is a collage of inspiring voices sharing the gratitude for those that impacted them."Because of a Teacher" is a timely reminder for all educators, regardless of title, to tune into the stories that have shaped our purpose as educators. Teaching is life-changing work and this anthology of inspiration serves as a powerful reminder. Go to this book for a reflective and emotional journey for those who have shaped the noble profession of teaching. Bravo to George Couros and all of the educators who have contributed their personal testimony to the world-changing impact of teaching. We need more inspiration like this in Education!

There may be no better time for a feel-good book of inspirational stories for educators. Not only do these stories warm your heart, they help educators reconnect to their why and reflect back on the influential educators in their own lives. George Couros has curated a book of beautiful reminders of the opportunity teachers and principals have every day to make a difference in the lives of their students and colleagues. Whether you are in your first year of teaching or nearing your last, Because of a Teacher will remind you why you went into education in the first place and help us all focus on what is really important...the legacy we will leave with the students and staff we are blessed to work with.
