Really liked the teacher from Fish in a Tree. He showed how you can have a profound effect on a student by being observant & caring. You do not have to be a "super teacher" & spend all your waking hours on school to make a difference. #Read4Fun . Former MS librarian from Indy

Mr. Falker in Thank You, Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco because of the encouragement he can offer those learning to read in spite of learning difficulties. #Read4Fun
A2 I'd have to go with Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus. @BethHouf is definitely one of my inspirations for encouraging creativity withing a school. #read4fun
A2 character = the Good Witch of the South (in the book she says βclick your heels 3 times ...β) teacher = @pamelakorzep is amazing tchr challenging her sts to go beyond their own expectations #read4fun

A3 The teacher from the Year of Miss Agnes, one of my favorite fictional teachers, was like this w/her Ss. @Margare05827822 & @daleyscience def are like this in real-life. Lots of risk-taking and adventures! #read4fun
A3: I had the privilege of teaching with a fellow science T who was passionate in everything she did, from having students raise tarantulas to many labs and stimulations, with a little astronaut worship/stalking on the side (of which I may have had a part) #Read4Fun
Late to join, but excited to talk about favorite teachers! I always loved Myles of Olau as a teacher in the Song of the Lioness and Protector of the Small quartets. He was funny, patient with his students, and they always found his class interesting #Read4Fun#sbpdchat
A fictional teacher who provides encouragement & support is Mr. Terupt in Because of Mr. Terupt. Ms. Bixby in Ms. Bixby's Last Day is also inspiring. #read4fun
This was a fast #Read4Fun Chat tonight!
I hope everyone celebrates all the good educators do each day to ignite a passion for learning in others!
Have an amazing week!
A2 Mr. Freeman in Speak constantly encourages his students to face fears and take risks, and wasnβt afraid to be himself around his students, either. #Read4Fun#sbpdchat
Totally agree! I love the how @teresagross625 keeps me inspired by her Ss and her own writing, but also have to add you to the list @Rdene915 b/c your post are π₯! #Read4fun
