Teachers These Days

Stories and Strategies for Reconnection

De: Jody Carrington, Laurie McIntosh

Narrado por: Jody Carrington, Laurie McIntosh

Teachers show up in different forms and in many chapters of a child’s life. Teaching is literacy and numeracy, but most importantly, it’s showing up with your whole heart. It’s walking kids - and yourself - through the hardest conversations about trauma, loss, grief, racism, or violence. As we work to piece together our education system in the fallout from the global pandemic, the focus must be on the teachers. If the people in charge - those teachers - aren’t OK, the students don’t stand a chance.

Dr. Jody Carrington and Laurie McIntosh bring together theory and practice, weaving the science of human development with real-life stories and tangible strategies told by those most qualified to share them - our teachers. This book is for those who need a place to land when they want to be reminded that, simply by the choice of their profession, they are a powerful force in shaping our world.

This book is incredible. I truly cannot put my thoughts and admiration into words but please give this book a listen. Also, Dr. Jody Carrington does a FABULOUS job narrating. 👏♥️

Amazing

I will listen to this again and again! Everybody needs these messages! I am grateful because I found it at just the right time for me! if you found it too, it may be the perfect time for you to hear the wisdom from these 2 incredible people!

Excellent, but...

Excellent, informative, and entertaining. I am glad I purchased the physical book, as the audio book is missing a section from chapter 3 (page 61-62).

Every teacher needs to listen to this

If you haven’t read this book yet, get to it! This is one I will listen to again and again. So much love and wisdom.

A MUST READ!

This book was one that hot my heart from the first page. Read it. Don’t even second guess or think about skipping on this book.

Unprofessional

I really felt the language was offensive. I felt it was about these ladies ego, more than the teachers or kids.

Adult language

I listen to the first chapter and partway into the second. I think I would’ve really liked the book, but there was too much adult language. The language in the book if it were a movie would’ve got it a rated R rating. Just in the first chapter and part of the second alone, I think there were 4F bombs. as an educator, we don’t use that kind of language language and to me it’s offensive so even though the messages might be good. The language was a major turn off, so I’m not going to finish the book.
