The teaching profession is faced with new and more demanding challenges each year. Teachers yearn for quiet moments to enable them to prepare themselves for the stresses of a day. A Moment of Peace and Quiet originated from the author's own need for "space" before a school day started, or in the middle of a hectic day. It is designed to help all teachers make their moment of quiet refreshing and nourishing. Mesplay's book can be creatively used to fit a teacher's needs and busy schedule. Readers have the option of choosing a specific topic, randomly selecting a page, or starting at the beginning and working their way through to the end. There are 200 entries, one for each school day and enough for the week prior to the beginning of school and one week into the summer break. Quotations (over 400) from a variety of authors, time periods, and world religious traditions are an important part of this book of meditations.
Quiet Moments with God for Teachers by Honor Books Pdf
If the fire and passion for your students is waning, if that spark of enthusiasm you need to be your best in the classroom is flickering, you need a recess. A time of restoring your energy and drive. A time alone with God. Shut out the cares of the day and take a few minutes with the Master. Feel yourself embraced in His love as you enjoy uplifting scripture, practical devotional thoughts, and inspiring quotations. Let your spirit be renewed as God's Word and the encouragement of others takes you away to a quiet place - if even for just a moment.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK You will need 30 seconds. That's all. Start at the beginning, or turn to a random page. Every page has a title, a benefit, and simple directions. Read and complete the task on the page. If you know that you are in the mood for a creative, confidence-boosting, stress-releasing, or peace-promoting task, use the Index at the back of the book to choose the one that fits your interest. Notice the positive changes you go through because you took that 30 second break. Many of these tasks can also be shared with your students, allowing them to benefit too. The changes you'll experience will last for far more than 30 seconds. You'll find yourself gaining more presence, patience, confidence and becoming much happier if you do this regularly. The energy in your classroom will positively change, and your students are sure to notice too. Using this book could become a wonderful little daily ritual. By the way, the writing tasks have a blank page beside them for jotting your notes. This means that all you need for those is a pen. If there isn't a pen nearby, use a pencil. Even a broken crayon will work. You probably have plenty in your classroom. It's ok to write in the book. Later, when you read what you wrote, it will become part of your reflective process, displaying how you've grown.

Teachers in Control by Martin Powell,Jonathan Solity Pdf
In an increasingly centralized education system, how can teachers recover the freedom to make their own decisions? Originally published in 1990, the teaching profession had seldom been under greater pressure. Teachers in Control aimed to help teachers to understand the forces that shaped their personal and professional development and their relationships with children at the time. It identifies the pressures that teachers faced, from both the school and the educational system as a whole, and then examines the internal, psychological influences that lead people into teaching and direct their future careers. The authors argue that an understanding of these influences can give teachers more control of decisions that affect their practice in the classroom and will still be very relevant today.
This empathic book suggests simple ways of guiding honest and responsive classroom discussion, with insights into dealing with a number of real-world challenges.
