the blind to be wonderful.  They focus on independence and personal
responsibility.

Subject: [ProfessionalDevelopment 682] A book or movie to inspire
teachers

Colleagues,

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