Designed for each school day in the student year, these light-hearted and insightful devotions offer lessons from the Master Teacher and a challenge to apply that lesson in real-life situations that confront educators in today's classroom. From the student who attacks verbally or physically to the lab experiment that goes wrong, teachers face a variety of challenges - and veteran teacher of Baltimore's public school, author Susan O'Carroll Drake, shares not only her own experiences but the biblical principles she has gleaned from a study of Jesus' life and teaching. Each devotion offers a Scripture reading, key verse, personal anecdote, biblical insight, and practical application before concluding with a brief prayer.
