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 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.

“Teachers These Days is filled with heartfelt happies and heartbreaking hurts. I connect with the theory-into-practice way that it is set up, and I appreciated the voices of the others in their raw, poignant stories.”

—Barbara Gruener, teacher and school counselor

“Teachers These Days honors the work and experience of educators while providing a familiar context to all teachers. The section on grief is captivating and visceral and beautiful.”

—Meaghan Reist and Shelley Smith, vice principals and creators of Culture Curators EDU

Some of the best lessons are taught in the moments between literacy and numeracy. These golden moments based on kindness, connection and community are the moments Laurie lives for.

Storyteller, light bringer and dreamer, Laurie uses her 20+ years in education to forge new paths. With the stories she held writing ‘Teachers These Days’ with Dr. Jody Carrington and her 2 appearances on The Ellen Show Laurie strives to bring teachers together in community and to define and exemplify what it truly means to be a ‘teacher these days’.

A must read for parents and educators. About helping children thrive when they/we are in trouble.

Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Easy to read. Full of realistic ideal to help parents and teachers connect with those children that need a hand up, encouragement and the priceless reassurance that someone "Is crazy about them". After raising a few kids of my own that went through very challenging patches and working in special education for over twenty years...This is one of the best guides to have as a "go to" resource.
I've rebelled to the tally / pages of note taking during the storms, the blanket approach to behavioural intervention, the impersonal sterile dialogue... My believe was "Children are like plasticine, you have to warm them up before you can work with them". Creating personal connections is a master key. This book, validates my approach. I wish I had something like this when I was growing up as a parent and educator.

I was already a big fan of both Jody and Laurie through their individual social media. I’ve also seen Jody speak more than once, and I’ve been hooked from day 1. This book is full of the most important things we need to understand in schools from 2 ladies who are doing the real work in their fields. It’s authentic, it’s practical and it’s from the heart. I’m so glad it was available so that I can read it more than once before the next school year starts rolling.

If you work with children in any kind of industry, I highly recommend this book. Reading this book, I'm shaking my head in agreement, and focusing on all the babes that needed my connection, I wish I had these resources when I first started working in child care 18 years ago. Also, I actually highly recommend to the personal partners, parents, friends of child care workers read this book, it will support them with the knowledge of why their family member's lid has flipped. This is my personal husband's account, I don't have one and he's the one that got me this book, cause he knows how passionate I am in my career.

What a fabulous book. I am not a classroom teacher but a parent and I devoured this book in a few short hours. I have also purchased copies for the teachers who will have my "babies" this coming year. There is so much good stuff in here... something for everyone for sure. It is a must read for teachers and EA's, admin and bus drivers, custodians, office staff, parents, and anyone who interacts with kids regularly. I cannot say enough positive things about it. It is nothing short of AMAZING. Great job Dr. Jody Carrington and Mrs. Laurie McIntosh! I loved it!!!

I was extremely excited to read this book and it did not disappoint. There is a lot of value embedded in this book for teachers at all levels of experience. At the end of the day teachers are in the business of relationships, and this book shows the reader the way to “help walk our children home” and build effective relationships.

If you have ever listened to Dr Jody, you’ve no doubt enjoyed the way she relievers messages. Her book with Laurie is highly recommended. As a teacher, having bounced back from a difficult time the year before, the messages I heard from Dr. Jody and this book are what I needed.

Highly recommend this read if you are an educator or a “teacher” of any kind. Fresh ideas and new perspectives on connection and relationships are so often needed (or to be reminded of) for me as an educational assistant but also as a mom, aunt, wife, friend.
Will be recommending (and reading) this book time and time again

Dr. Jody and Laurie have created an incredible book full of their own stories and those of others who impact the lives of children along with ideas for connection, trauma, repair and loving on the little ones in our classrooms, on our busses, in our care. I will recommend this book a million times over to anyone and everyone I know who works in schools or with school aged children. Thank you ladies for creating this book, a true testament to the incredible impact you’re having on educators all over this province, country and beyond.

I'm in my 38th year as an educator. Seen and experienced a lot. This book brings into focus a lot of things that, in my opinion, great teachers do. Should do. Are doing. The stories of light-ups are enough to make this old educator tear up. It's that good of a book. Highly recommend.
