I haven't read the book (The Freedom Writers Diary), and I haven't seen
the movie "The Freedom Writers,: but I see it  is included under videos.
Has anyone read the book and what did you think of it?

 

 

Books, Films and TV Videos that Inspire Teachers

 

Colleagues,

 

Recently on the Professional Development and the Poverty, Race and Women
electronic lists there has been a discussion that was prompted by this
question:

 

"I was asked today for a recommendation of a movie or book (such as
'Stand and Deliver') that would inspire teachers to have high
expectations for their young adult students, to give 100% each day to
their teaching. What would you recommend?"

 

The list of recommended books, films and TV videos now numbers more than
30, and is accompanied by an archive of the discussions from both lists.
If you would like to see this -- and add your own thoughts and
recommendations -- it's on the Adult Literacy Education Wiki, in the
Professional development area:

Books_and_Films_which_Inspire_Teachers

 

or, for a short form of the URL,

I hope you will share the list with your teaching colleagues. I think
the recommendations -- and some of the comments from the discussion

-- might make a great article for a state adult education newsletter.
