Everyone remembers that teacher who made a difference. The one who went the extra mile to truly affect lives, whose lessons carried as much importance outside the classroom as inside.

This book is a celebration of those teachers who continue to make an impact. A collection of stories from some of the country's top educators, this book is a celebration of teachers' work, and motivation for them to continue.

Joseph Underwood has collected stories from each of the twenty-eight 2004 Disney Teacher(TM) of the Year honorees. And every story celebrates a different obstacle they overcame, the power and know-how needed to triumph, and the reward granted upon beating the odds.

Today I Made a Difference is the perfect gift for anyone in or considering the profession.
