DALLAS, March 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Helen Walters spent 36 years teaching kindergarten and first grade. For parents, this story of long and devoted service to children likely evokes gratitude and appreciation. However, fellow teachers would likely marvel at the amount of endurance and capability it would take to handle so many bundles of energy for all those years. In Walters' new book, ABC, 123 -- What About Me? A Self-Help Book for Educators (now available through 1stBooks), she shares the many practical pieces of advice that helped her keep going.
ABC, 123 -- What About Me? is a humorous and delightful guide that helps educators stay grounded, even when students are doing everything from running in the classroom to cutting their own hair. Walters offers practical and inspiring advice that helps teachers hold on to their spirit and remember the reasons they wanted to teach when they began their careers.
ABC, 123 -- What About Me? is packed with cheerful stories about her own career in the classroom and tidbits of wisdom that any teacher can apply. It is a great resource for teachers who give their last ounce of energy to provide their students with the best learning experience possible, but who often forget that taking care of themselves is a vital part of achieving that goal.
ABC, 123 -- What About Me? is a refreshing guide to help America's teachers retain their enthusiasm and drive for teaching without losing themselves.
Walters taught for 36 years in the Dallas Independent School District. A graduate of the University of North Texas, she was awarded the 1997 Excellence in Education Award. She is active in her church, loves to travel and enjoys spending time with her two grown sons.
