Story
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.

Average schools don't inspire greatness - and greatness is what our world needs if we are going to produce world-changing learners. In Culturize, author and education leader Jimmy Casas shares insights into what it takes to cultivate a community of learners who embody the innately human traits our world desperately needs, such as kindness, honesty, and compassion. His stories reveal how these "soft skills" can be honed while meeting and exceeding academic standards of 21st-century learning.

Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

For many of us, teaching is not a job, it’s a calling. And if you’re listening this, I’m quite confident that you feel the same way. We entered this profession because we give a damn and we want to make a difference. We become ourselves when we step in our classroom. We know how incredibly rewarding affecting hundreds or thousands of young lives can be. And how big of a responsibility that is. One we don’t want to fail.

School discipline is broken.

These students - and their parents, teachers, and administrators - are frustrated and desperate for answers. Dr. Ross W. Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior.

Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students' natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future. The traditional system of education requires students to hold their questions and compliantly stick to the scheduled curriculum. But our job as educators is to provide new and better opportunities for our students. It's time to recognize that compliance doesn't foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity.

Lost and Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicit guidance on implementing his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Problem Solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's positive, constructive approach and described implementation on a macro level, this useful guide provides the details of hands-on CPS implementation by those who interact with these children every day.

Publisher's Summary
The kids are the least of our worries.
Seriously. If that sounds blasphemous in a book for concerned parents and educators (and anyone, really, who worries about "kids these days"), then I am so glad you're here. If you have a kid, work with a kid, or love a kid, you will find something inspiring in this audiobook. Dare I say, game-changing.
These words were born from the hundreds of stories of kids, their families, and their support systems I was lucky to meet as I worked across Canada and the USA. Regardless of who I met or where I met them, the message was always the same: Our kids are okay only if those of us holding them are okay.
During the developmental years, schools and educators are the most significant connection point to almost every child on this continent. But are the educators okay? I believe that most of the great educators want to make a difference. Many tell me, however, that they are finding it more and more difficult these days to love what they do. I think it's time we did a better job of looking after them first. Plain and simple, this book is for the educators: our teachers, bus drivers, administrators, educational assistants, librarians, administrative assistants, and custodians. And anyone who leads, loves, and supports them.
Plus just for you, I recorded a little bonus chapter filled with thoughts and ideas about the future and our next steps in this journey to create a more connected world.
I am so grateful you are here to listen to these words.

Just finished this book and I encourage if you are an educator, a mental health therapist, a bus driver or a parent To listen to this book. Dr Jody is passionate and is a game changer in the industry of Children and Mental Health. When most people want to turn a blind eye on that kid who tells you to fuck yourself Dr Jody encourages you to look at this child differently and dig deeper. Don’t give up! Form a connection. I reasonate with what she says so so much. I love that she’s real and is relatable. Plus she’s Canadian. ❤️.

I was very skeptical of the hype around Dr. Jody, but I am not even a tiny bit any longer. I cried, I laughed, and I’ve been transformed. I’m excited to go back to teaching after my maternity leave with some new tools under my belt. I cannot rave more about this book, it is exactly what educators and people who have little people need to guide them in their journey to becoming the leaders of tomorrow. She will change the world by changing what we know to help our babies through the tough stuff.

Every parent, teacher and/or social services worker should read
This is by far one of the best books I’ve read. I’ve recommended to coworkers, family and friends. The content is wonderful, and it has great take-away strategies for implementing the information you’ve learned. I also found her very entertaining and relatable. Dropping the occasional cuss word, but not more than her reference to prayer and the holy work we do.
Also if you’re a fan is Brene Brown, you’ll love this book too. Much of her beliefs are aligned with Browns. It’s lovely.

Amazing for parents and educators alike.
As the home bound layoff continued, I gave this one a listen over the last 2 months after spending a lot of time at home with my kiddos. All I can say is I wish I would have taken the advice from my wifey sooner. I've had my share of struggles connecting and understanding my kids sometimes, just as I imagine other parents do. But this book, even though geared more to those in the education profession, really opened my eyes to things I was not realizing when interacting with the kids. Some of the stories she has also really touched my 💓, caugh myself cutting onions 😆 too many times. An amazing listen for educators and parents alike and I love she's from Alberta. 5/5 🎓

This has given me so many tools to help the kids I work with, and also supported the idea that kids need connection before anything else. This has also reminded me how important taking care of myself as an educator is. Thank you!❤

The connection I needed...
I can’t recommend this book enough to educators! Joy’s “message of connection” was something I didn’t even know I needed but so grateful to have been given. I was put onto Joy Carrington by a fellow educator and all I want to do is pay that favor onto anyone who is interested. I’ve been an educator for 12 years and I feel refreshed and ready for a new school year, no matter how that is suppose to look during a pandemic. Listen on, you won’t regret it!

MUST READ for all Teachers
As an elementary educator, I enjoy fitting in some "professional development" books into my routine. A friend recommended I checked out Jody's book, and I was blown away immediately. I am so glad I bought the audiobook version instead of the paperback as well. Jody is so relatable, but her knowledge and stories allow me to reflect upon myself, my students, and our world throughout the entire book.
It's entertaining, insightful, and educational without being mundane or dry. Kids These Days is a MUST READ for anyone that works with our children.

I listened to the book as the guidance counselors at my school read it. I kept saying to them, “She’s speaking to US!” I had listened to several
Chapters when my husband and I took a road trip . At 62 yrs old, he changed professions and Became a teacher. I told him to listen to this ! He did and he too became enthralled! It spoke to me about my spec. Ed middle schoolers as well as his high school
Babies . It helped us understand our 5 yr old grandson. Above all, it made us feel appreciated and gave us insight to keep helping our “kids.” I need to buy a printed copy so I can go back and

I have a child that I was not connecting with and this book really helped me understand him better. Ive been teaching for over 15 years and this was one of the most impactful things that I have done for myself and classroom. Thank you again. Sharing it to the world!
