A Call to Teach

Book Cover & Preview Text
“If I had only known that before I started teaching!” I can't tell you how many times I have said that to myself. It would have prevented many of the potholes that I have stepped into through the twenty-plus years of my teaching. Teaching is really like parenting: by the time you start to figure out what is going on and what to do, it's over.

About the Book
This devotional book for teachers tackles many of the issues and struggles educators face today.
Scott Petznick draws on twenty-one years of experience as an elementary school teacher to share stories, lessons learned, and faith-based observations that challenge you to look at the teaching profession in a new way.
As you read, you’ll consider questions such as:
- Why did you decide to become a teacher?
- How do you feel about teaching now versus when you started?
- Do you really want to continue as a teacher?
- What does it mean to give a student a blank slate?
While meant for teachers, this book is a great resource for parents, mentors, or anyone with youngsters or young adults in their life. The lessons can be applied to whatever occupation you have to find meaning and thrive.
Consider big questions and re-evaluate why and how you teach—or why you do whatever you do. By looking at your occupation with a new perspective, you’ll be inspired to do an even better job … or decide to move on.
