Abstract

The theme of the eleventh annual international conference of the Irish Association of Teachers in Special Education (IATSE), The Teacher - Inspired or Tired?, motivated some contributors to relate stories of teachers who have inspired the lives of others and of students who remain grateful for the inspiration of a particular teacher. The two authors featured here present their reflections on the lives of two well known and greatly admired Irish people, Bryan MacMahon and Christy Brown. Providing brief glimpses into the lives of these men, both authors clearly portray the wonderful and heartening effects of inspired teaching.
