Taking a closer look at the strategies, stories and definitions of "success" that inspire and connect us in our community as 'Teachers These Days'.
Based on the bestselling book 'Teachers These Days' by Laurie McIntosh and Dr. Jody Carrington, Laurie will hold conversations around all 6 chapters of her co-authored book highlighting the research, stories and strategies in each section that make a difference in our school communities. Whether you have already read the book or have it in your “to be read” pile, Laurie is able to guide educators through the vocabulary and impact of lid flips, light ups, emotional regulation, trauma and grief.
We will gently invite participants to examine their own practice and reflect on what it means to be a teacher these days as well as share stories and strategies along the way as highlighted in the book. By acknowledging the challenges of education, allowing participants to reflect and celebrating the joys already occurring within our buildings and classrooms, Teachers These Days will no doubt leave your audience feeling affirmed and valued in all they bring to the table. Teachers can expect to leave with strategies especially surrounding lid flips, light ups and emotional regulation of ourselves and our learners.
