Getting More Out of Restorative Practice in Schools: Practical Approaches to Improve School Wellbeing and Strengthen Community EngagementMARGARET THORSBORNE, NANCY RIESTENBERG AND GILLEAN MCCLUSKEY Restorative practice (RP) has been successfully implemented in schools for decades and is primarily associated with improving behaviour and relationships, by changing the culture of problem solving in the school. However, it has huge untapped potential to support initiatives in other areas, and this book provides examples of how RP can enhance the effectiveness of these other practices. Split into three sections, the book first looks at implementation, readiness and evaluation. It then covers integrating RP with, and linking RP into, other issues relevant to schools such as trauma, poverty, and mindfulness, and finally shows how to work well with parents and families.

This approach therefore empowers teachers to complement their delivery of content, knowledge and skills with the nurturing of positive habits of mind that will better prepare students to flourish in later life.

Powering Up Students: The Learning Power Approach to secondary teachingGUY CLAXTON AND GRAHAM POWELLGuy Claxton and Graham Powell’s Powering Up Students details the small tweaks to daily practice that will help secondary school teachers attend more closely to the ways in which they can boost their students’ learning dispositions and attitudes.Building upon the foundations carefully laid by Guy’s first book in the Learning Power series, The Learning Power Approach, this new instalment embeds the ideas of his influential method in the context of the secondary school. Guy and Graham provide a thorough explanation of how the LPA’s core components apply to this level of education and, by presenting a wide range of classroom examples, illustrate how they can be put into practice in different curricular areas – focusing especially on embedding the learning dispositions into learners’ tackling of more demanding content, while emphasising the need to ‘get the grades’ as well.

Teaching on Solid Ground: Knowledge Foundations for the Teacher of EnglishTHOMAS M. MCCANN AND JOHN V. KNAPPTo be successful, teachers of English in grades 6–12 need more than basic content knowledge and classroom management skills. They need a deep understanding of the goals and principles of teaching literature, writing, oral discourse, and language in order to make sound instructional decisions. This engaging book explores the pedagogical foundations of the discipline and gives novice and future teachers specific guidance for creating effective, interesting learning experiences. The authors consider such questions as what makes a literary text worth studying, what students gain from literary analysis, how to make writing meaningful, and how to weave listening and speaking into every class meeting. “Teaching on Solid Ground provides great swaths of history, perspective, and good ideas for high school and middle school English teachers, from two veterans with many decades of experience between them. The book focuses on what teachers should know about literature, writing, oral discourse, and language. It identifies key goals and offers lesson-planning suggestions and fascinating case studies that are attuned to the contemporary English classroom.” — Ken Lindblom, PhD, Department of English, Stony Brook University

MATHEMATICS Visible Maths: Using representations and structure to enhance mathematics teaching in schoolsPETER MATTOCKVisible Maths supports maths teachers in the use of concrete and pictorial representations to illuminate key mathematical ideas and concepts. Viewing the maths lesson as an opportunity for pupils to develop a deep understanding of the concepts and relationships in maths, rather than to simply learn how to follow algorithms and processes that lead to ‘the answer’, is increasingly recognised as the pinnacle of best practice in maths education.In this book, Peter Mattock explores this approach in detail. Covering number lines, proportion diagrams, ordered pair graphs, the bar model and many other means of representation, Visible Maths maps out for teachers the maths mastery journey that will take their pupils’ learning to the next level.

TEACHER RESOURCESHow to Explain Absolutely Anything to Absolutely Anyone: The art and science of teacher explanationANDY THARBYIn How to Explain Absolutely Anything to Absolutely Anyone Andy Tharby talks teachers through a set of remarkably simple techniques that will help revolutionise the precision and clarity of their message. Writing in his typically engaging and eloquent style, Andy examines the art and science of the undervalued skill of teacher explanation. By bringing together evidence and ideas from a wide range of sources – including cognitive science, educational research and the study of linguistics – Andy shows teachers how to explain tricky and thorny concepts so well that their pupils will not only understand them perfectly, but remember them forever too. He also puts the important role of learner autonomy in context, recognising that there is a time for teachers to talk and a time for pupils to lead their own learning, and argues that, in most cases, teachers should first lay out the premise before opening the space for interrogation.

The book provides effective strategies which will enable teachers to bring the six principles to life, with each chapter concluding with a series of questions that will inspire reflective thought and help teachers relate the content to their own classroom practice.


Provocations: Philosophy for secondary schoolDAVID BIRCHAre human beings flawed? Is murder an act of insanity or just plain thoughtlessness? Do we need a soul? From the fall of Icarus to the rise of Caesar, this practical book draws upon history, philosophy and literature to provoke students to think, question and wonder. Divided into chapters on the world, self, society and others, this resource for secondary school is written to give teachers the means to listen rather than teach - and to allow the ideas and thoughts of students to form the centre of the lesson.With a clear introductory outline on its use both in and out of the classroom, Provocations also contains tips and advice to help guide teachers to span the curriculum. “Beautifully written, clearly presented, and drawing from a wide and rich range of original sources, ‘Provocations’ is a superb resource for secondary school teachers keen to encourage independent, bold and creative thinking from their students (and perhaps give their own critical faculties a tickle while they’re at it ...).” — Helen Mulley, Editor, Teach Secondary“This is a rich, interesting and valuable book, packed full of extremely stimulating, and, at times, provocative, starting points for philosophical inquiry.” — Dr John L. Taylor MA BPhil MInst Phys, Head of Philosophy and Director of Critical Skills, Edexcel EPQ Chief Examiner, Visiting Fellow, Institute of Education“In the best tradition of the Socratic gadfly, David Birch challenges many current practices and assumptions in education, and provides an imaginative resource for stimulating debate, critical reflection and creative thinking on a wide and engaging range of topics. His emphasis on the importance of listening as well as speaking, for the teacher as well as the student, is refreshing.” — Dr Angie Hobbs, Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield
