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: 
_http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/_ 
(http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/)  
Books_and_Films_which_Inspire_Teachers 
or, for a short  form of the URL, 
_http://tinyurl.com/yj2w6s_ (http://tinyurl.com/yj2w6s)  
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.
