From Able to Remarkable: Help your students become expert learnersROBERT MASSEYWhat makes remarkable students remarkable? Attributes such as resilience, creativity, curiosity and intelligence may come to mind, and we might also add others such as intuition and tenacity - perhaps the very qualities enshrined on a school’s website as characterising their student body. But what has made them what they are? Were they born this way, or did their ‘remarkabilities’ emerge at primary school? What has school really done to help generate excellence in learning among these students? Such questions may make teachers feel uneasy, prompting them to reflect on the sometimes limiting scope of what is often labelled as ‘able and talented provision’ in their school. Robert Massey’s argument, however, is that these remarkabilities are there, latent and dormant, in many more students than we might at first acknowledge.

BEHAVIOUR AND SOCIAL SKILLSThe Angry Child: What Parents, Schools, and Society Can DoBRETT NOVICKAnger and violence have reached seemingly epidemic proportions within the fabric of our youth. From school violence, social media, to growing oppositional and defiant behaviors within the home; anger has surfaced more and more in the lifestyles of our youth. What are the answers? Should the focus be more on parental enrichment skills, or on social and emotional curriculum in school? Perhaps, greater monitoring of social media among our youth? These questions in themselves only point to what is a systemic and increasingly complex problem. A multifaceted approach is indeed needed to address this issue before it becomes even more intractable and leads to even greater anger and rage in our next generation.

The Teacher’s Guide to Resolving School Bullying: Evidence-Based Strategies and Pupil- Led InterventionsELIZABETH NASSEMDrawing on the author’s cutting-edge research this practical book helps teachers better understand the causes of bullying, gives them confidence to resolve nuanced cases, and provides them with the tools to develop pupil-led anti-bullying campaigns. This book delves into the complex nature of bullying at school in a clear and approachable way. It helps school staff understand the student’s views and experiences of bullying, and how power imbalances and systemic inequalities can contribute to bullying relationships between pupils. The author provides evidence-based interventions that suggest ways teachers can develop knowledge and skills to resolve incidents. Key to this is a new approach to pupil-led interventions which allows staff to harness pupil voices to develop effective anti-bullying strategies.


CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTA Curriculum of Hope: As rich in humanity as in knowledgeDEBRA KIDDA great many schools are wondering how they can build curriculum models that meet the demands of government policy as well as the needs of the children and communities they serve. In A Curriculum of Hope, Debra Kidd, illustrates how, by using a ‘plaited’ curriculum model, teachers can deliver learning experiences that genuinely link knowledge to life and build strong, mutually beneficial community links from classroom to home to business, and to wider public and political spheres too.


EARLY CHILDHOODBreaking the STEM Stereotype: Reaching Girls in Early ChildhoodAMANDA ALZENA SULLIVANMen continue to outnumber women in numerous technical STEM fields such as engineering and computer science. Prior work demonstrates the importance of introducing girls to STEM content early on, before gender stereotypes are ingrained. However, many parents and teachers are not sure how to do this in a developmentally appropriate and playful way. Breaking the STEM Stereotype: Reaching Girls in Early Childhood explores the various social, cultural, and psychological reasons behind the persistent gender disparity between men and women in STEM fields. By explaining the powerful role of stereotypes, the media, and experiences with peers and adults during the foundational early childhood years, this book builds the case of early childhood being a critical time in development to reach girls.


EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY Building Better Citizens: A New Civics Education for All HOLLY KORBEY

Educating for citizenship was the original mission of American schools, but for decades that knowledge —also known as civics education—has been in decline, as schools have shifted focus to college and career, STEM, and raising reading and math scores. But over the last few years, spurred on by political polarization and a steep decline in public understanding, civics education is seeing a nation-wide resurgence, as school leaders, educators, and parents recognize the urgency of teaching young people how America works—especially young people who have been marginalized from the political system. But this isn’t your grandmother’s civics. The “new” civics has been updated and re-tooled for the phone-addicted, multi-cultural, globalized twenty-first century kid.

Catholic Teacher Preparation: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Preparing for MissionRICHARD RYMARZ AND LEONARDO FRANCHIThis book addresses teacher preparation for Catholic schools at both the ‘pre-service’ and ‘in-service’ levels by looking at the Church and its relationship with the state. The former will allow opportunities for a deep study of the role of ‘faith’ in Teacher Preparation, while the latter focuses on how a distinctive faith-based model of education can be in dialogue with the expectations of civil society. By using this multi-layered framework, the book offers exciting and innovative opportunities to inform contemporary practice from international examples, proving an invaluable text for researchers in the fields of comparative education, theology and the sociology of religion.Richard Rymarz is Head of Religious Education and Director of Research at the Broken Bay Institute, The Australian Institute of Theological Education.

Forget School: Why young people are succeeding on their own terms and what schools can do to avoid being left behindMARTIN ILLINGWORTHYoung people need to network effectively, manage their finances responsibly, be digitally proficient and be alert to the world around them. If school does not respond quickly, then today’s youth will no longer see any relevance to their education as they look to tomorrow. A distance is already growing - as examinations and outdated curricula lose their authority - which means schools need to look again at their offer, for the young have already made up their minds to move on. Told from the perspective of young self-employed adults, Martin Illingworth’s Forget School provides key insights into the ways schooling can be recalibrated to better support young people as they prepare to enter the rapidly changing world of the 21st century.

Reflection can also help with practical insights on classroom management techniques, and development of problem-solving steps, that may need to be implemented.

They would, however, if they’d had Crista Hazell as their teacher. Drawing on her many years of experience as an MFL teacher, Crista takes teachers on a tour of how to get the teaching of a new language right.

LEADERSHIPMediation and Thinking Development in Schools: Theories and Practices for EducatorsHEIDI FLAVIANMediation and Thinking Development in Schools supports the idea that academic achievements are not enough to measure a child’s development; forward-thinking educators know that they not only have to teach specific disciplinary content, but also knowledge and skills that will be useful in their students’ future. Hence, there is a need to understand how to mediate knowledge acquisition rather than be the source of knowledge. By fully illuminating the theory and the practice of mediation, this important text will prove invaluable for leaders, researchers and teachers in primary and secondary education.Emerald Points Series.

MATHEMATICSStrengthening Mathematical Reasoning among Middle School Students with Hidden or Unmet Potential: A Practitioner TextPETER SHEPPARD AND MELISSA GALLAGHERThis work seeks to contribute to the national dialogue regarding best practices in teaching middle school mathematics. The authors are committed to improving mathematics achievement and opportunities for students whose inherited circumstances place them at a perceptible disadvantage. Most refer to said students as “risks.” We hold the position that these students, irrespective of their backgrounds, possess Hidden or Unmet Potential and the unveiling of their potential can be accelerated when they are exposed to high-quality mathematics teaching. This book is a practitioner’s guide to creative mathematics activities centered on algebraic, proportional, and geometric reasoning aligned with mathematics standards. This approach has the potential to accelerate the mathematical confidence and accentuate the mathematical proficiencies of students.

Becoming a Real Musician: Inspiration and Guidance for Teachers and Parents of Musical Kids ROBERT H. WOODYNobody is born a musician. Rather, people become musical. They do so through the right experiences as children, and with the right kind of support from the adults in their lives. Most teachers and parents believe that music can be a powerful gift to kids. Ideally it becomes a lifelong gift, rather than merely a pastime of childhood to be reminisced about later. Unfortunately, not all music educational experiences produce a lasting musicianship. This book shares how learning experiences can be made more relevant, practical, and real world for young people studying music. With such experiences, kids can be on their way to becoming real musicians, defined as people whose musical skills allow them to lead musically active lives, whether music making is their profession or a personally-fulfilling part of their leisure time.

Independent Thinking on Laughter: Using humour as a tool to engage and motivate all learnersDAVE KEELINGEducation is too important to be taken seriously: everyone in our schools - from the youngest learner to the, ahem, ‘most senior’ teacher - likes to laugh. And beyond the many stress-busting and morale-boosting benefits that laughter brings on an individual level, the collective rewards of laughter in the classroom setting are also numerous - such as enhancing openness and teamwork, stimulating imagination and creativity and, above all, strengthening the student-teacher relationship. Writing with his trademark wit, Dave shares handy hints acquired from his experience in the world of comedy and offers a veritable smorgasbord of activities for use with learners - all proven to generate laughter, enhance learning and make the teacher look great.


Independent Thinking on Teaching and Learning: Developing independence and resilience in all teachers and learnersJACKIE BEEREAll the evidence shows that the most valuable assets of any successful school are the teachers. No matter what changes are made to systems or to the curriculum, one certainty remains: children will be helped or hindered in their learning, job prospects, life chances and, indeed, happiness by the teachers they come across during their time in the education system. In this all-encompassing book on teaching and learning, experienced educator Jackie Beere sets out to re-energise teachers’ passion and enthusiasm for their profession and help them develop a flexible, multifaceted pedagogical approach which adapts and responds to individual learners’ needs. The book champions both children and teachers as learners in the classroom and - together with sage advice on how to develop in all pupils the habits of independent learning - shares great practice that delivers outstanding outcomes for all teachers.


Independent Thinking on Transition: Fostering better collaboration between primary and secondary schools DAVE HARRIS

When it comes to looking at the quality of our current schooling system, the biggest elephant in the room is transition. We do it the way we’ve always done it and, in so many ways and despite our best intentions, we end up doing it badly. Which is where Dave Harris comes in. In this book he tackles school transition head-on, vividly illustrating how primary and secondary schools can better collaborate to ensure their pupils enjoy a smooth and effective move between the two phases. Dave’s passion for joined-up thinking between different phases shines through in his writing, as does his ingenuity when it comes to the design and delivery of programmes that position young people at the heart of the process.


Teach Like Nobody’s Watching: The essential guide to effective and efficient teachingMARK ENSERAt a time when schools are crying out for more autonomy and trust, teacher and bestselling author Mark Enser asks educators the critical question “How would you teach if nobody were watching?” and empowers them with the tools and confidence to do just that. Mark argues that a quality education is rooted in simplicity. In this book he convincingly strips away the layers of contradictory pedagogical advice that teachers have received over the years and lends weight to the three key pillars that underpin effective, efficient teaching: the lesson, the curriculum and the school’s support structure. Teach Like Nobody’s Watching explores these three core elements in detail, and presents teachers with a range of practical, time-efficient approaches to help them reclaim their professional agency and ensure that their pupils get the excellent education they deserve.

Visual Literacy: Reading, Thinking, and Communicating with VisualsMARK NEWMAN AND DONNA OGLEVisual Literacy examines how teachers can use visuals to improve learning for all students. It provides teachers with a foundation in visual literacy, defined as the ability to read, think, and communicate with visually presented information. Results of studies of students’ using visual information indicate that most students are clearly lacking in the tools needed to use visuals effectively. The book orients teachers to visual literacy and the world of visuals. It discusses various classroom tested strategies and activities for all students, including second language learners, and students with special needs. Stressing visual literacy skills helps students understand a visual more deeply so they can master the content they are learning.


Zest for Learning: Developing curious learners who relish real-world challengesBILL LUCAS AND ELLEN SPENCERThe third book in the Pedagogy for a Changing World series, Zest for Learning examines how schools can enrich their pupils’ learning both within and beyond school.

Zest for Learning connects the co-curriculum with the formal curriculum, building both theoretical and practical confidence in the kinds of pedagogies which work well.

TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATIONThe Charisma Machine: The Life, Death, and Legacy of One Laptop Per ChildMORGAN G. AMESIn The Charisma Machine, Morgan Ames chronicles the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why—despite its failure—the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt” education and development. Announced in 2005, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South with a small, sturdy, and cheap laptop computer, powered by a hand crank. In reality, the project fell short in many ways—starting with the hand crank, which never materialized. Yet the project remained charismatic to many who were captivated by its claims of access to educational opportunities previously out of reach. Drawing on a seven-month study of a model OLPC project in Paraguay, Ames postulates that the laptops were designed for “technically precocious boys”—idealized younger versions of the developers themselves—rather than the children who were actually using them.Infrastructures Series.
