Christian Teachers in Public Schools: 13 Essentials for the Classroom

by Dalene Vickery Parker

Any educator in the public school system will quickly tell you- it's tough out there! Between parents, administrators, standardized tests, and the constant stream of planning and papers to grade, it's hard for teachers to catch a break. And that's even before adding students to the mix. Christian Teachers in the Public Schools: 13 Essentials for the Classroom is the break teachers have been looking for. Full of personal anecdotes, useful and practical insights, and scriptures for survival in the classroom, it will encourage and equip Christian educators, no matter what grade they teach.

Yes, this was one of my textbooks for my Master's degree. There were a lot of nice stories in it, but not a whole lot of application in it. Everyone say it with me...one more class, one more class

This was a textbook for my college class. Relevant and encouraging for teachers, whether in public or private schools.

This is a good reminder for Christian teachers. Not a lot of application but the stories are good and a reminder to keep our focus on God.

This book is a great reminder of why we are put in the classroom and what our purpose should be everyday.

I wanted to like this book. There is so little written on this topic that is truly useful. It read more like a memoir(of the "aw, isn't that a nice story" variety). I skimmed the last half because I just couldn't remain engaged any longer. Her public school experience is/was so different from mine (this may be in part because the book was written over a decade ago).
