Tip: Recommend a good book to your students and watch them grow. As educators,we know that reading a good book results into gained knowledge, good deeds, and emotional or inspirational uplift. Since the beginning of my teaching career I've received books that have changed my thinking. Listed on this page are books that I've read and shared with my students. One of my favorites is titled The Bracelet. This story is about a struggling student and a teacher's influence that helped to make a lifelong change.
