Great Books For Burned Out Teachers

Posted by jameskigerpromotion on March 1, 2009 at 8:52 AM
If you desire to reclaim your passion for teaching, I suggest NOT reading any books about teaching. Instead, read books that will develop YOU. Personal growth is the best investment you can make in restoring your passion. There is just something about reading a book, in a quiet place with some nice soothing music, that will get your juices flowing. May I offer the following suggestions?




  • The Spark:Overcome Burnout and Reclaim Your Passion for Teaching - James Kiger
  • The Traveler's Gift - Andy Andrews
  • How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
  • Today Matters - John Maxwell
  • The World's Greatest Salesman - Og Mandino
  • Think and Grow Rich- Napoleon Hill
  • An Enemy Called Average - John Mason
  • Imitation is Limitation - John Mason
  • Winning with People - John Maxwell
  • The Success Principles - Jack Canfield
  • How Full Is Your Bucket - Tom Rath and Donald Clifton
  • Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life - Brian Tracy


Any or all of these books will begin to stir something inside of you (Passion) and begin the process of restoring what is hidden inside of you!

"Your Book is so motivating, I read it twice, then gave it to a teacher friend" - DP, Principal

"I finished “The Spark” last week and I was very impressed and motivated.  The chapters were brief, easy to read, and the summaries very helpful.  I purchased another book for one of our students and told her to replace the mention of “teacher” with “student”.  I have encouraged others to buy the book and begin reading immediately.  Your suggestions are simple, yet effective.  I had an incident last week which caused me to use your advice and it made the situation even better than expected.Thanks for helping to keep our teachers motivated.  I may teach an additional five years because of it" - RS, teacher

"Awesome book and well written.  Finally, someone had the courage to speak to and for the teachers, giving them hope and guidance to become the most productive they can be in and out of their classrooms.  As I said before, feeding the feeders will only produce positive results in feeding our students.  Keep up the great work and I will look forward to more writings from you. 
 
Also, having one of my players read and finish your book, she cannot stop talking about it, and is recommending it to her peers.  Hmmm, maybe another book directed towards students.  Congratulations on completing the book and get ready to get busy from the overwhelming response..  " DW -teacher and coach
