Teachers, Refresh and Refocus Your Teaching Heart. Today’s educators face unprecedented challenges in and out of the classroom. Teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and special education teams need more than a few words of encouragement and a pat on the back.
Divided into four terms- fall, winter, spring, and summer- It’s a Good Day to Be a Teacher by Gretchen Huesmann targets the trials and joys educators encounter year-round. The weekly devotions provide:
- Spiritual insights and inspiration
- Courage to continue the calling
- Practical steps for application
- Additional suggestions for deeper study
Teachers who use the tools of God’s Word and prayer will be encouraged and empowered as they witness God at work in their students, classrooms, and schools. It’s a Good Day to be a Teacher helps educators teach from a place of purpose and peace and provides hope and strength to teach another day. Huesmann comes from a long line of educators, including both parents and grandparents. Her three-decade teaching career, in private and public schools, spanned seven states. Today, she enjoys mentoring and encouraging educators, ministry workers, and women’s groups. She is also a tutor and a substitute teacher. She is a member of Word Weavers International and serves as president of the Pensacola chapter. Huesmann and her pastor husband have raised four children, three of whom are teachers. Their empty nest sits near the gulf shores of northwest Florida. It’s a Good Day to be a Teacher releases on March 25, 2025. One reviewer says:
“Educators have one of the hardest roles in society. Huesmann meets readers where they are with Biblically sound reminders that God is with teachers in the midst of their day. With this book on your desk, you’re sure to feel every day is a good day to be a teacher.” –Tez Brooks, former Communications Leader for Intl. School Project and author of YouVersion’s Hope for School Teachers
