The A-Z of International School Leadership is a stimulating collection of sharp insights and creative perspectives drawing on the author's global experiences, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet."Leaders of international schools are free to choose from the best educational initiatives around the world, yet many find themselves blinkered by slavishly following historical traditions and patriotic ruts."The hindrance to development and innovation that follows from ploughing the single furrow is self-evident. The best schools are open and outward thinking, ready to critically accept ideas from around the world, even if these ideas emanate from people in countries other than their own. International schools are ideally placed to be at the forefront of innovation in education."- Simon Watson

The A-Z of Early Career Teaching is a one-stop shop for those in the early stages of their teaching career, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet.'So look up from the individual trees and see the whole wood. Because in teaching, today is always yesterday before you know it, and on balance that's a good thing - there's no time for either despair or complacency. Yesterday exists to allow us to learn from our disappointments and build upon our successes. And that's entirely healthy.' Harry Hudson
Strategies, techniques and ideas come and go in education, but feedback will always be an important aspect of effective teaching, learning and assessment. Feedback should be helpful and actionable, and pupils must embrace it, but the reality is that this doesn't always happen. Pupils receive feedback on a daily basis, from their teachers and peers, so how can we make sure it helps rather than hinders learning? This book aims to answer that key question and provide a wide range of practical examples for the classroom.Feedback: strategies to support teacher workload and improve pupil progress, the latest book by bestselling author Kate Jones, explores a variety of evidence-informed and workload-friendly feedback strategies. Jones examines the ingredients of effective feedback, shows what actionable feedback looks like in practice, explores verbal feedback approaches, advises on peer and self-assessment, and includes a chapter on harnessing technology to support teacher workload. Fascinating case studies reveal how classroom teachers and school leaders across primary and secondary are implementing feedback in their settings.

Direct Instruction is an incredibly powerful approach to teaching with a robust and wide ranging evidence base. Although you can buy field tested ready to go teaching programmes that are based on DI theory, there is much that can be applied to the everyday classroom. DI theory can help answer two of the biggest pedagogical questions: what should we teach and how should we teach it. DI is the closest we have got to a complete, scientific framework for approaching teaching and learning.
'Gifted and talented' is a zombie. It is dead, but still walking around. There are new labels to stratify students - 'more able', 'significantly able', 'high-aptitude learners'. New labels do not equal new thinking. The concept of 'gifted' is still stubbornly embedded in our educational structures, with its legacy of social immobility, racism and sexism. Students can be 'more able' when they have more financial resources, more access, more visibility, or more cultural acceptance. There are pervasive narratives that educators should prioritise extension for some students and not others. We can dispel the myth that pitching lessons judiciously to 'middle ability', and then differentiating up and down, is effective. This book explores how we can provide every student with rigorous challenge. Challenge for all is an inclusive approach to teaching, whereby every student is invited, and given the tools, to reach a place of mastery. This can be through project-based learning, Harkness round-tables, oracy, adaptive teaching, inclusive enrichment programs, dynamic classroom strategies and a schoolwide mission for equity. Educators can embed powerful knowledge into the curriculum, reimagine teaching to the top, and stretch learners through personalised and responsive instruction. The shift to enrichment, challenge and equity creates magnificent possibilities. The message to all students is: you belong here.
