Download or read book The Priority List written by David Menasche and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this poignant and inspiring memoir, a beloved high school English teacher with terminal brain cancer undertakes a cross-country journey to reunite with his former students in order to find out if he made a difference in their lives, discovering along the way what is truly important in life. Based on a beloved teacher’s most popular lesson, The Priority List is a bold, inspirational story of learning, love, and legacy that challenges us to ask: What truly matters in life? David Menasche lived for his work as a high school English teacher. His passion inspired his students, and between lessons on Shakespeare and sentence structure, he forged a unique bond with his kids, buoying them through personal struggles while sharing valuable life lessons. When a six-year battle with brain cancer ultimately stole David’s vision, memory, mobility, and—most tragically of all—his ability to continue teaching, he was devastated by the thought that he would no longer have the chance to impact his students’ lives each day. But teaching is something Menasche just couldn’t quit. Undaunted by the difficult road ahead of him, he decided to end his treatments and make life his classroom. Cancer had robbed him of his past and would most certainly take his future; he wouldn’t allow it to steal his present. He turned to Facebook with an audacious plan: a journey across America— by bus, by train, by red-tipped cane—in hopes of seeing firsthand how his kids were faring in life. Had he made a difference? Within forty-eight hours of posting, former students in more than fifty cities replied with offers of support and shelter. Traveling more than eight thousand miles from Miami to New York, to America’s heartland and San Francisco’s Golden Gate, and visiting hundreds of his students, David’s fearless journey explores the things we all want and need out of life—family, security, independence, love, adventure—and forces us to stop to consider our own Priority List.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...an eloquent love letter to teaching and to life, written by a veteran teacher at the height of his powers." - Sam Swope, Founder of The Academy for Teachers "I admired its feeling, candor, and exuberance - and of course its Emersonian hope." - Mark Edmundson, author of Teacher: The One Who Made the Difference "Shy abounds in wry observations about practical experiences; his quiet reflections verge on and flow into wisdom ..." - Bob Blaisdell, author of Tolstoy as Teacher: Leo Tolstoy's Writings on Education Great teachers are indispensable champions and guides for students passing through crucial years. They are forks in the road. They are artists with living canvases and hidden audiences. The essence of what teachers do when the classroom door is closed is not written about, or celebrated, enough. It is unsung work. Teaching Life sings it here. One part memoir and one part educator travel guide, Teaching Life is a charming and loving missive to the author's aspiring-teacher daughters and a lyrical celebration of the unsung work of teaching. This book will surely shine as a North Star for teachers the world over.
