About our teachers & school stories
Stories about teachers, coaches, classrooms and the lessons we never forget. Teachers read them at staff meetings and graduations, students share them with a favorite teacher, and parents enjoy remembering the people who shaped their own lives.
Start with Be an Encourager and The Best Teacher Ever, two reader favorites about how one adult’s belief can change a child’s life. What Teachers Make is Taylor Mali’s famous reply to a dinner guest who sneered at teachers, and Know Your Worth is a short story about a father, an old watch and a lesson for any age.
You’ll find inspirational stories for teachers, short devotional stories for teacher meetings, and stories from retired teachers and coaches in our reader community about the students they’ll never forget. Looking for something to read at a teacher appreciation event or a graduation? These are short, clean and easy to read aloud.
