Jessica Kingsley Publishers A Different Way to Learn: Neurodiversity and
Book Synopsis'If you are a parent worrying whether self-directed education will work for your child, because you have been told that they have special needs which can only be met in the school system - think again'Neurodivergent children experience and interact with the world differently to many of their peers. Standard educational systems often fail to adapt to their unique strengths and ways of learning. School, and even the act of learning, can become a source of great anxiety and trauma. Self-directed education offers an alternative to traditional schools that can help neurodivergent children develop at their own pace and thrive.Blending theory, practical advice and lived experience, clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher introduces the world of self-directed learning and tailoring the learning environment to your child.This comprehensive overview of self-directed learning is packed with ideas on how to implement it at home and includes interviews from parents of neurodivergent children on how you can make learning differently work for you and your childTrade ReviewWith Changing Our Minds Naomi Fisher established herself as the voice of reason in a sea of misinformation about an education system in existential crisis. This new book cements her reputation as a champion of young people's rights by giving a voice to those who are most impacted and yet too often silenced. -- Artemis D. Bear, Head of Freedom to Learn & Director of The GardenA really important book giving a platform to the many SEND families who have been largely unheard in the education debate. As always Naomi offers us a fresh perspective on intersection of neurodiversity, learning and environment. A must read for anyone interested in education, psychology or the wonderful diversity of humanity. Highly recommended. -- Kezia Cantwell-Wright, BA Hons, Founder of East Kent Sudbury, Administrator at Sands SchoolIn "A Different Way To Learn" Naomi Fisher builds on the scientific base of her earlier work "Changing Our Minds." She illuminates routes to self-directed learning that are effective in eliminating the coercion and anxiety generated by much conventional 'schooling.' I wish that I had read this book before becoming a parent and a teacher! She is a passionate voice for all children not just those defined as neuro-diverse. -- Derry Hannam, retired Deputy Headteacher, Inspector, international campaigner/researcher for Student Voice - author of 'Another Way Is Possible: Becoming a Democratic Teacher in a State SchoolEveryone knows the mainstream education system doesn't work for everyone, but most people don't realise there is an alternative. In this invaluable book, Naomi Fisher guides us through the world of self-directed education. It should be required reading for all educators, young people and their parents and carers - anyone who has ever wondered if another way is possible. Because it's not just possible. It's already happening... -- Dr James Mannion, Director, Rethinking Education and co-author of Fear is the Mind Killer with Kate McAllister

Book SynopsisA classroom-ready programme of evidence-based lessons in stress resilience, self-awareness, emotion regulation and healthy relationships.Trade Review"Well-designed lessons to teach students important life skills and habits that will help them succeed in school, in relationships, and in life ... A valuable resource." -- Roger P. Weissberg, PhD, Chief Knowledge Officer, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL); Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Education, U of Illinois at Chicago "A wonderfully simple roadmap ... As educators grapple with the best way to create and sustain rich environments for social and emotional learning. TLS offers an accessible, thoughtfully designed, and research-based approach. There's little doubt that the time spent implementing TLS will pay dividends across the board for students, teachers, and the broader school-community." -- S. Kwesi Rollins, Director of Leadership Programs, Institute for Educational Leadership "Bidyut Bose's program, laid out here in exquisite detail, meets every student with great compassion and respect. Its goal, as the title suggests, is transformation, helping young people transform not only their thoughts and emotions, but also their relationship to their own lives and the lives of others. Readers will discover how beautifully and skillfully this can be accomplished through the use of yoga postures. A revolutionary book." -- Richard Brady, MS, Co-Founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network "This wonderful book offers teachers a clear and useful guide to "dynamic mindfulness" and how to create a foundation of knowledge for students that will enhance their well-being and executive functions. Bravo to the brilliant pioneers who have courageously created such an important contribution to the field of education!" -- Daniel J. Siegel, MD, author of Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human; Executive Director, Mindsight Institute, Founding Co-Director, UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center "In a morass of school reform efforts that offer the same thing and expect different results, Teaching Transformative Life Skills is an effective curricular rejoinder. Its ABC approach honors the best in all of us, bringing students into the fold of caring and compassionate adults who breathe joy and justice into our schools. TLS strengthens the assets of children and youth and prepares them to fully engage in learning." -- Lynda Tredway, Founding Coordinator, Principal Leadership Institute, UC Berkeley; Senior Associate, Institute for Educational Leadership "Combining gentle didacticism with easy-to-follow practices, this unique manual teaches education for life-skills for the internal life of the student as he or she experiences stress, overwhelming emotions, and bodily strain." -- Gabor Mate, MD, author of When The Body Says No: Exploring The Stress-Disease Connection

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Natural Curiosity: Educating and Nurturing Our
Book SynopsisNatural Curiosity is a warm and contemplative insight into one family's experience of moving from mainstream schooling to home education, and learning through the lens of nature and natural history.Since becoming 'unschooled', the two children have thrived on a diet of self-directed play and learning, amassing life skills, confidence, responsibility, and a vast array of knowledge along the way. This thoughtful book touches upon important themes in education and environmentalism, such as children's rights in schooling, the use and place of technology in learning, and the absence of the natural world in mainstream education. It gives a considered, balanced view of home schooling, interspersed with entertaining tales including constructing life-sized mammoth skeletons and living for a day as historically accurate Vikings. It offers an understanding of how this type of education works and what inspires the choice to pursue it.Trade ReviewIn a world filled with endless distraction, Lisa Carne passionately and wisely guides us along more relevant paths designed to stimulate young learners to discover the wonders and magic of the natural world as a fundamental part of their learning experience. To thrive with some degree of health in these uncertain times, these are the encounters our progeny will need to have no matter what our cultural background. Read this important book. -- Bernie Krause PhD, Author, Soundscape Ecologist, Composer and Sound DesignerThis book is refreshing and insightful. Given the constraints of a formal education system, Lisa Carne successfully reinforces the importance of the natural world as a key learning tool in a child's development; an area of our society that is sadly being eroded with the explosion of technology. She emphasises the tools of observation, mindfulness and the importance of our elders, as essential ingredients in providing a child a balanced and healthy existence into adulthood; skills that are so readily overlooked in our society today. I highly recommend this book. -- Tara Golshan, Executive Director for Education, Jane Goodall InstituteThis book is a warm and charming reminder to encourage the curiosity of children, to retain it in ourselves, and never to let our instinctive sense of wonder at the intricacy and beauty of the nature all around us be worn away. -- Max Barclay, Collection Manager, The Natural History Museum, LondonAn excellent introduction to the principles of unschooling, demonstrating how child-led learning can cover an entire curriculum - and more - and how children can flourish when encouraged to follow their passions and spend as much time as they wish on any project or interest. Definitely recommended. -- Sue F * Sue's Book Reviews *Table of ContentsForeword. Introduction. 1. Nurture through nature. 2. Born free. 3. So why aren't they in school?. 4. What are we thinking?. 5.

New York University Press The Color of Homeschooling
Book Synopsis2023 C. Wright Mills Award FinalistHow race and racism shape middle-class families' decisions to homeschool their childrenWhile families of color make up 41 percent of homeschoolers in America, little is known about the racial dimensions of this alternate form of education. In The Color of Homeschooling, Mahala Dyer Stewart explores why this percentage has grown exponentially in the past twenty years, and reveals how families' schooling decisions are heavily shaped by race, class, and gender. Drawing from almost a hundred interviews with Black and white middle-class homeschooling and nonhomeschooling families, Stewart's findings contradict many commonly held beliefs about the rationales for homeschooling. Rather than choosing to homeschool based on religious or political beliefs, many middle-class Black mothers explain their schooling choices as motivated by their concerns of racial discrimination in public schools and the school-to-prison pipeline. Indeed, these mothers often voicedTrade Review"In this remarkable book, Mahala Dyer Stewart demystifies the increasingly popular option of homeschooling in the United States. Rather than arguing for or against this alternative to traditional schooling, Stewart situates her study at the crossroads of schools and families to show how Black and white mothers embrace homeschooling but with radically different political aims. Written with great clarity and empathy, The Color of Homeschooling shows how homeschooling emerges as a key site for protecting children and privilege, with many important lessons for families, educators, and researchers." * Freeden Blume Oeur, author of Black Boys Apart: Racial Uplift and Respectability in All-Male Public Schools *"The Color of Homeschooling is a careful and nuanced examination of the sometimes wrenching decisions mothers make to ensure their children receive a good education. This beautifully written book will shape future academic and policy discussions about the choices families make when attempting to navigate public education." * Victor Ray, author of On Critical Race Theory *"Applying an intersectional lens to the question of homeschooling, Stewart offers fresh insight into the at-once classed, gendered, and racialized processes shaping Black and white mothers’ schooling decisions. With careful attention to how power, privilege, and oppression shape the work of motherhood, The Color of Homeschooling is an essential contribution to the literature on race and school choice." * Kate Henley Averett, author of The Homeschool Choice: Parents and the Privatization of Education *"A fascinating read. Stewart shows how both race and class are critical in shaping parents’ decision-making with ‘class-advantaged’ Black parents, for example, often describing feeling pushed out of traditional schooling by racism while white parents describe being pulled into homeschooling in search of a more individualized educational experience. Set in the context of larger public and academic conversations about social class, race, and childrearing, The Color of Homeschooling captures the different priorities, constraints, and resources families are operating with in trying to raise children and navigate educational systems today" * Amanda E. Lewis, co-author of Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools *
