LeadershipBraveHeadsHow.to.lead.your.school.without.selling.your.soul.Dave.Harris.edited.by.Ian.GilbertPaperback208pages£18.99517092School leadership brings with it tremendous pressure from the government for results at all costs. It’s the outcome that counts (and the league tables), not the process. Which means, now more than ever, for genuine leaders leading schools in the right direction for the right reasons, bravery is key. Dave Harris is well placed to write the ultimate guide to bravery in school leadership. As the principal of a high-profile brand new Academy he has had to stand by his beliefs about the role of the school in the community – ‘It’s a marathon, not a sprint’ – despite the pressure to forget genuinely educating young people and just focus on ‘floor targets’. A book for every leader who wants to make a genuine difference (and get great results, as Dave has done)!

“Brave Heads is a personal account, a smart synthesis of current thinking about leadership and an invitation to reflect on and review how leadership might need to change to respond to a turbulent and often contradictory environment. It is a powerful and very welcome addition to the literature on how leadership needs to develop in order to create an educational system rooted in authentic values and a belief in the transformational potential of schools.”

John West-Burnham, Professor of Educational Leadership, St Mary’s University College, Twickenham

I want to show you that it can be done (for those who know me well, they are saying, ‘if Vic can do it anyone can!’) and it can be done without losing your own passion and moral purpose. I want to share with you the pitfalls that I fell into, in the hope that you can avoid them and share the amazing influences and experiences I have picked up on the way.”

Trivium21stCenturyPreparing.young.people.for.the.future.with.lessons.from.the.pastMartin.Robinson.edited.by.Ian.GilbertPaperback350(est)pages£18.99517093dueJuneUniversities in the Middle Ages focused on three skills to develop the intellectual abilities of students – grammar, logic and rhetoric. In this well-researched and practical book author Martin Robinson shows how these three tenets are as relevant today as they were 800 years ago. Summed up as ‘how things are represented, how things are known and how things are communicated’, the Trivium – the foundation of medieval liberal arts education – is a powerful tool that teachers can employ to stretch all young people and develop a discipline for thinking and learning that will stand them in good stead in the 21st century, when skimming the surface seems to be the most that we can hope for. An important read for all teachers looking for deeper thinking in their students.

Martin Robinson had taught for 20 years in State schools in London, as a teacher, head of department, head of faculty, assistant head teacher and AST. Now an entrepreneur, company director and Playwright and interested in developing creativity in schools.

TheLearningPoweredSchoolGuy.Claxton,.Maryl.Chambers,.Graham.Powell.and.Bill.LucasPaperback278pages£23.95518181Guy Claxton’s classic Building Learning Power presented both a distinctive goal for education, and a set of practical ideas to help schools and teachers attain it. Now, in The Learning Powered School, Guy and his co-authors look at how the ideas and practice have developed, and flourished, over the intervening eight years. The book is rooted in the experience of schools and teachers who have seen the promise of Building Learning Power and have

taken up the challenge of realigning their classroom practice, their professional development, and their engagement with parents, sometimes quite radically. Learning power, and the importance of building it in all young people, could be the keys to transforming education to make it truly fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.

ProfessionalCapitalTransforming.Teaching.in.Every.SchoolAndy.Hargreaves.and.Michael.FullanPaperback240pages£19.99518594This major new book is a must read for all school leaders.

“T ransforming education is one of the signature challenges of our times. Professional Capital sets out exactly and undeniably why the only way to do it is to honor and improve the profession of teaching. Written by two of the sharpest educational thinkers in the world, Professional Capital is an incisive critique of the failing reform movements in many countries and a powerful manifesto for the only strategy that can and does work. This book should revolutionize how policymakers and practitioners alike think and act in education. The price of failure is more than they or our children can afford.”

LeadershipTheSubjectLeaderAn.introduction.to.leadership.and.management.Steve.GarnettPaperback128pages£18.99516970The role of a subject leader is one of the most important in any school, second only to that of the head teacher. Subject leaders are working in the ‘engine room’ of school life, expected to turn the vision, values and ethos of a school into reality.However, most teachers went into

education because they wanted to be teachers, not leaders, so they often haven’t had any training into how to lead a subject area. This book seeks to deliver a whole range of practical solutions to the challenges that the role presents. The areas covered range from setting and communicating your vision, delivering high quality learning across all classes and developing rigorous and effective systems of self evaluation to understanding and developing a transformational leadership style.Hugely accessible and realistic, the book also tackles some of the other critical issues that sometimes face subject leaders. Practical solutions are offered around the issues of working with underperforming colleagues as well as managing the stresses of the role.

TweaktoTransformImproving.Teaching:.A.Practical.Handbook.for.School.LeadersMike.HughesAllageslargeformatpaperback264pages£29.9916450Improving teaching is the key to genuine and sustainable school improvement. Improvement involves persuading teachers to change and develop their practice but, as anyone who has ever tried will testify, this is far from easy. This book focuses on what head teachers and school

leaders can do to manage the change process and improve the quality of teaching in a school. Essentially Tweak to Transform is a practical handbook that seeks to address three questions: ‘What do we know about change, what do we know about learning and what do we know about leading and managing the improvement process?’

LeadershipAndTheMainThingIs…LearningKeeping.the.Focus.on.Learning.–.for.Pupils.and.TeachersMike.Hughes,.foreword.by.Paul.GinnisPaperback256pages£19.9922502Education faces twin challenges: to sustain the undoubted improvements of recent years, and to switch the focus from teaching to learning. The key question, and the one that this book seeks to address, is whether the strategies and policies that have enabled us to improve teaching and raise

standards will be sufficient to help us develop further and promote learning. Is it to be more of the same, or do we need a change of emphasis if we are to break through the inevitable plateau of attainment and achievement?It argues that the future, in terms of both pedagogy and policy, demands an approach rooted in learning. More specifically, it suggests that: • everything we do must be based explicitly upon learning• teachers must be learners too and we have a professional responsibility to go

on learning about learning, because the better we understand learning • the learning process the better able we are to facilitate it in others.

A Policy For Learning is the first in a brand new series called Jigsaw Pieces, which aim to make each small detail of

teaching and leadership much easier to comprehend and develop. Because each general area would be too great to go into in fine detail and still be accessible to the reader, the author has broken it down into smaller segments (hence the title of the series) and as a result he has produced an outstanding educational resource. Like every one of his other titles this book is so easy to follow because there are summaries on the left hand page, which allow you to skim read the book in minutes; plenty of case studies and anecdotes from schools around the country back up the message and inspire you to create your own ideas. Like his seminars this book doesn’t preach but leaves you full of inspiration.

The book provides practical strategies that enable teachers to eliminate the discrepancy between what we know constitutes effective learning and what we know goes on in classrooms. If attainment is to rise, this gap has to close. The author asserts that the biggest influence on learning is the quality of the teacher and therefore provides tried and tested techniques for teachers to use with individuals as well as with whole schools.

What’sthePointofSchool?Rediscovering.the.Heart.of.EducationGuy.ClaxtonPaperback272pages£14.9923645What’s the Point of School? takes the reader beyond the sterile debates about City Academies and dumbed-down exams in order to reveal the key responsibility of education today: to create students who enjoy learning. With their emphasis on stressful exams and regurgitation of information, Guy Claxton claims that schools are currently doing more harm than good, primarily making students fear failure. Instead, schools must encourage students to develop their curiosity, ask stupid questions, and think for

themselves. He explains scientists latest theories about how the human brain learns, and reveals some of the core habits needed to create a strong, supple mind. He then goes on to explain how these are already being successfully implemented into some schools - all without chucking out Shakespeare or the Periodic Table.

MindsetThe.New.Psychology.of.SuccessCarol.S..Dweck.PhDPaperback276pages£9.9923820In this truly groundbreaking book, Dweck proposes that everyone has either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. A fixed mindset is one in which you view your talents and abilities as... well, fixed. In other words, you are who you are, your intelligence and talents are fixed, and your fate is to go through life avoiding challenge and failure. A growth mindset, on the other hand, is one in which you see yourself as fluid, a work in progress. Your fate is one of growth and opportunity. Dweck

provides a checklist to assess yourself and shows how a particular mindset can affect all areas of your life. The implications of this for your school and those you teach are, of course, immense. Identifying the different mindsets among your students becomes vital to their growth and development.

ThinkingAllowedonSchoolingMick.WatersPaperback352pages£14.99517087Mick Waters uses the experience he has gained from a career in which he has both worked in schools and had major roles in shaping education policy at local and national level to offer a unique perspective: that of someone close to the classroom, but with an ability to see through innovation, policy and practice. Mick tells it how it is, explains his beliefs and sheds light on progress and problems in the school system.

“ Mick Waters is a calm, seasoned voice in the rising clamour of debate on the future of education. Drawing on his long experience in classrooms and in national policy, Thinking Allowed on Schooling offers a wise, well-informed and practical perspective on the challenges that face education and how to meet them. Unlike many passing politicians, Mick Waters has spent his life in education. This insightful, compassionate book distils the essence of what he has learnt and what we can learn from him. An essential read.”

TheLittleBookofBereavementforSchoolsIan.Gilbert.with.William,.Olivia.and.Phoebe.Gilbert.Hardback96pages£9.99516465The Little Book of Bereavement for Schools is written by best-selling author Ian Gilbert together with his three children. Is a very personal account of the way educational institutions tried and succeeded, tried and failed and sometimes didn’t try at all to help William, Olivia and Phoebe come to terms with the death of their mother. Several months after their mother’s death, BBC’s ‘Newsround’ aired

a brave and still controversial programme in which four children talked about their losses. This prompted Ian and his children to sit down and think about their own experiences and draw up a list of do’s and don’ts that could help steer schools – and indeed all professionals working with children – towards a better understanding of what is needed from them at such a difficult time. The warmth of reception of this initial fifteen-point handout led the family to expand their advice and suggestions into what has now become The Little Book of Bereavement for Schools, the proceeds of which will go to Nicky’s Way in Suffolk.

This book is packed with proven advice and innovative tools developed in these successful, outstanding lessons.Written in the humorous, thought-provoking style with which they both teach and train, Andy and Mark aim to challenge all who teach, from NQTs to seasoned professionals, to reflect on their day-to-day practice and set an agenda for sustainable improvement.“ To learn, students have to be engaged – this book gives a route map of what engagement is, what it looks like and the strategies needed to achieve it.”

This light-hearted look at the brain is aimed at a lay audience. It especially focuses on the neurobiology of emotional intelligence and in many ways is the neurobiological explanation of why emotional intelligence is so important to health, wealth and happiness. The Little Book of Big Stuff About the Brain is about understanding the importance of emotional health. It is a book about structure and function – and the immensely reassuring fact that there is nothing occult or sinister or hidden about our emotional selves – there is just a whole pile of circuitry that can be adjusted and changed and remodelled. The most important message in this book – emotions and our emotional brains - underpins most of what we are and how we express ourselves from how we brush our hair to how we solve complex social and intellectual questions.

Most importantly, in his view, you have to learn discipline. For Jim, behaviour is the ‘B-word’ and he forbids mention of it. Discipline, on the other hand, is neatly described not as something others do to you to get you to behave nor even as something you do to yourself, but rather as ‘what you do for yourself ’. What Jim advocates is a partnership between children and schools, whereby schools open up to teaching children everything they will need to prosper at and beyond school, no matter what career or life choices they make. In return, children will start to acquire and then implement the strategies and benefits that come with self-discipline on an ongoing basis.

Does this mean our next generation of children will grow up being literate and numerate greedy consumers whose lives are judged by the size of their houses and the latest model BMW on the drive? Or can our society along with the desire of educators teach children the values they need to take responsibility for living and learning. It’s simple;the children are our future, it’s our moral duty in schools to provide a Values Based curriculum. The Little Book of Values explores twenty-two values that can be taught through schools and indeed the whole community. The book will inspire you by using examples of where values are already being used by children and adults in schools and share practical tools to stimulate discussion and philosophical debate. It will also help people to take stock of their own values and how they wish to lead their lives. Megan aged 10 said,“Values are not simply words. They are skills we are learning for life and when I grow up I will remember to have them with me and use them to help me live a happy life.”

Young,GiftedandBoredDavid.George.edited.by.Ian.GilbertPaperback220pages£18.99516484Many gifted and talented children are bored and frustrated in the classroom. Many are not achieving their potential and their talents are going unrecognised by the education system in which they find themselves. Many have special needs and special problems besides lessons which don’t stretch them and teachers that don’t understand them. Frustrated, they often switch off or, worse, become disruptive as a way of adding some spice to their day. We owe it to them to cultivate their abilities and talent and we owe it to society not to waste this most precious resource. Unfortunately, even when schools try to pursue this, their attempts are often plagued by confusion, misconceptions, doubtful assumptions, exaggerated claims and a lack of communication. Written by an experienced and world-renowned author with a wealth of experience, this practical guide will challenge, excite and inspire teachers and show them how they can identify and provide for the needs of these children.

Dr David George was formerly Associate Director of Nene College (Now the University of Northampton) and before that Dean of the Faculty of Science. He now pursues his special interest in the education of gifted and talented children. He is Founder President of the National Association for Able Children in Education and was a member of the Executive Committee of The World Council of Gifted and Talented Children. He is a consultant to the British Council and UNESCO. He has lectured both nationally and internationally on the education of gifted and talented children and is the author of The Challenge of the Able Child, Gifted Education: Identification and Provision.

Lisa’s mission is to transform thinking around curriculum and education

to ensure that the disparity from one subject to another does not lead to a disparity in young people’s understanding and readiness for the future. Learning, Lisa believes should be co-ordinated across departments and she shows the world how it’s done in her new book, Manglish, bringing English and Maths together.

The book shows how Maths and English departments look at a creative approach to improving literacy and numeracy across the whole school and provides practical ideas and strategies to improve both.

Everyone knows it is important yet how many people do you know who are happy to tell the world how poor they are at numbers, despite many, many hours spent in the classroom trying to master it? What many people

leave the school system thinking is that maths is boring, serves little purpose and is reeeeaaaallllly hard. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Ian Taylor is a phenomenon when it comes to bringing maths alive for even the most hard-bitten, disaffected, back-of-the-classroom, bottom-of-the-maths-class student. Now he is very much in demand sharing his experience and expertise in schools across the UK and we expect this book quickly to become the maths teacher’s bible when it comes to raising achievement in all learners.

TeachingPoetryinthePrimaryClassroomGervase.PhinnLargeformatpaperback160pages£19.9923487When asked by the school inspector what he thought of poetry, an eleven year old replied that “it’s all la-di-da and daffodils, isn’t it?” In his primary school the boy had come across very little poetry apart from nursery rhymes, snatches of rhyming verse and a few comic pieces and nonsense poems. As children progress through the primary school

they need to be exposed to a rich diet of poetry and encouraged to read, perform and write it themselves. Providing a varied and stimulating environment is essential if is to flourish. In addition, children need specific guidance and ideas to start them off writing their own poems. This book, written by a former teacher and school inspector, and popular and widely published children’s poet, offers an accessible, practical and structured programme for the teaching of this sometimes neglected aspect of the English curriculum.

How would that impact on boys’ attitudes to literacy? What if, rather than stand in front of them and give them the same tired old lecture about the comma, we took it outside and used something in which they have substantial interest as the conduit to learning?In Literacy through Football Skills acclaimed educator, Phil Beadle, attempts to answer that ‘What if?’ This book contains an illustrated scheme of work that, if followed, will teach your students some quite complex grammatical ideas, through just taking them outside and doing some football training. All these activities have been fully trialled by Phil with a group of students and are appropriate across key stages 2, 3 and 4.

The21stCenturyAssemblyBookWill.Ryan.edited.by.Ian.GilbertPaperback200pages(est)£18.99516966dueSeptemberGrowing up in the twenty-first century can seem to be very complex as there are many things that seriously worry young people: issues such as global warming, depleted natural resources and how we can all live together harmoniously in rapidly changing communities. The generation of children currently passing through our schools will have to resolve these issues for us. This will be achieved partly through the skills and intelligence they gather and partly through the development of a spiritual intelligence that will enable them to become good citizens and do the right things at the right time – which is the focus of this unique book. It also recognises the pressures school leaders and teachers are under. The materials for each theme are presented in three ways:• Help! I have only ten minutes to plan a good assembly• I have lots of extra time to plan or collect resources or involve the children• Ofsted are coming! I want to plan the assembly of all assemblies.The book is aimed at key stages two and three, ages 7–14.Will Ryan has worked in schools in Rotherham, South Yorkshire for over thirty years as a teacher, head teacher and Local Authority Adviser. As a head teacher he led a school that prized itself on genuine pupil creativity and was described by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’. He is a speaker and Associate of Independent Thinking.

The stories invite us to slow down, take more time to reflect, experience the world from wider perspectives, and make wiser and more sustainable choices. They invite us to put ourselves squarely in the centre of the on-going story that is our life, to take greater responsibility for connecting to what serves us, others, and the wider context, and to find a greater variety of ways to express

ThoughtingsPuzzles,.problems.and.paradoxes.in.poetry.to.think.withPeter.Worley.and.Andrew.DayHardback224pages£12.99518343Thoughtings is a poetry collection with a difference.

The name ‘Thoughtings’ was inspired by a 5-year old who, when asked to explain what thinking is without using the word ‘think’ said ‘It’s when you’re thoughting’.

Children love pondering big philosophical questions like ‘Does the universe end?’, ‘Where is my mind?’ and ‘Can something be true and false at the same time?’. These verses capture that impulse in the growing mind and feed it further.

These are not poems or, at least, not in the traditional sense of the word… They are a kind of poem specifically designed around a particular puzzle or problem that might be thought more philosophy than poetry.

Here’s to the joy of puzzlement!

MusicforAcceleratedLearningSelected.and.arranged.by.Roland.RobertsSignificant evidence has shown that certain types of music can help us attain a state of relaxed alertness, known as the ‘alpha state’. When classical music of around 60 beats per minute is arranged and performed on a synthesizer, the results are even more astounding. Roland Roberts has arranged two hours of particularly effective Baroque music and two hours of Mozart’s most ‘passive’ pieces specifically for the purpose of accelerating your learning.
