(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 04, 2018 ) Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of They Call Me Mom: Making a Difference as an Elementary School Teacher by Pete Springer. The book is both memoir and self-help, offering relevant wisdom and advice to other teachers, both new and experienced.
Many schoolteachers can relate when their students inadvertently refer to them as “Mom.” As a male teacher, Pete Springer is never insulted when this happens. In fact, he sees this as a wonderful thing, as education and parenting are similar in that both roles require the use of discipline and love. In They Call Me Mom Springer writes about the challenges and responsibility teachers face each day, but, more importantly, he describes the profound influence his students have had on him as well.
Pete Springer takes the reader on a memorable 31-year journey in education as an elementary schoolteacher and offers the many valuable life and teaching lessons he learned along the way. Get ready to laugh out loud at some of the humorous experiences that all teachers face, feel inspired by the inherent goodness of children, and appreciate the importance of developing a sense of teamwork among the staff. Learn valuable tips for working with children, parents, fellow staff members, and administrators. They Call Me Mom is ideal for young teachers, but also a reminder to all educators of the importance and responsibility of being a role model.
“This book is a must-read for all new teachers and those teachers that need a reminder they are human! Mr. Springer educates others in his easy-to-read, story-like, firsthand manuscript. You will laugh, cry, and get motivated to be the best educator you can. After reading this, I have a better outlook on relationships with my colleagues and am reminded to savor every moment.” —Tami Beall, Principal, Pine Hill School
