Pocket Prayers for Teachers

Teaching is exciting and important but it is also demanding. Pocket Prayers for Teachers is just what it says - a book of teacher's prayers that aims to help and inspire teachers to reflect on their own experience in school, and to offer it to God.

cover of Pocket PrayersHow should teachers talk with God about their vocation and their work? David W. Lankshear's lively collection of prayers and reflections, Pocket Prayers for Teachers, covers all aspects of life in the classroom. Written in an easy-to-read, conversational style there are prayers for children, for colleagues and for occasions throughout the school year from the nativity play to sports day. Amusing and poignant by turn, the collection aims to affirm teachers and to enable them to pray for every aspect of school life. Practical suggestions to develop your own way of praying are included.

David W. Lankshear is Deputy General Secretary of The National Society and National School Improvement Officer for the Church of England Board of Education. He is a former primary school teacher and headteacher. He has also been a diocesan director of education.
