  • Head Trauma: The Bruising Diary of a Headteacher

    Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Head Trauma: The Bruising Diary of a Headteacher

    Book SynopsisWelcome to the world of teaching: polyester suits, well-polished shoes, endless marking and a stream of embarrassing moments at the coalface of the classroom.Follow Nick Smith as he charts his journey from trainee teacher to inspiring head. Now, thirty years on, Nick has seen – and heard – it all, and in this book, he shares extraordinary stories from his time in the education system. Follow Nick from his early trainee years, as he faces a daily battle to make it home without having his classroom set on fire (yes, really) and watch as he climbs the greasy pole to headship, navigating everything from Ofsted visits to mission statements, parents’ evenings and much more. At turns heart-breaking and hilarious, Head Trauma is a rousing call to arms for parents, teachers and pupils alike. Above all else, this is the story of the students that kept Nick returning to the school gates every morning: the brave, the bolshie and the downright determined kids who helped shape him into the headteacher he went on to become.‘As I began my teacher training, little did I know of what awaited me. Almost three decades and seven schools later, I am head of a state secondary school. On the wall in my office is a children’s toy, a plastic monster’s head which, if pressed, emits a pre-recorded message: ‘It beggars belief!’. I press the monster whenever I, pupils, parents, staff, or the Department for Education do something that is notable, ludicrous, odd, bewildering or unreasonable. It is pressed so often that I am forever having to replace the batteries.’

  • Social Work Education and Training

    Jessica Kingsley Publishers Social Work Education and Training

    Book SynopsisExcellent social work education and training is vital for ensuring best practice, and it is important to understand the key approaches and methods in order to provide the best teaching and ensure effective learning.This volume provides an overview of social work education, including the background and current context. It covers the key debates surrounding social work education, such as the evaluation of social work education, the use of IT, research-mindedness, and the effectiveness of interdisciplinary education. The book also offers guidance on effective teaching and learning approaches tailored to the needs of social work educators, covering teaching within a higher education institution, on student practice placements, and in post-qualifying settings. This will be an indispensable text for educators and trainers in the field of social work.Trade ReviewThis is a valuable addition to the literature on social work education, providing a useful synthesis of key areas of pedagogic research to date on the subject and helpfully identifying gaps in knowledge where research is still needed. Social work educators, social work researchers and social workers undertaking continuing professional development programmes in social work education will find this a relevant and accessible text. -- Jane Lindsay, Deputy Head, School of Social Work, Kingston University/St George's University of London, UKThis new volume in the Research Highlights series makes a welcome and valuable contribution in a context where the processes and outcomes of social work education remain under-researched. Reasons for this are critically explored so that some of the gaps in knowledge and understanding can be mapped and conceptualised. A variety of contributions from key figures make for diversity and a range of focus. -- Michelle Lefevre, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Sussex, UK and Deputy Editor, Social Work Education: The International JournalTable of ContentsIntroduction.

  • Essential Listening Skills for Busy School Staff:

    Jessica Kingsley Publishers Essential Listening Skills for Busy School Staff:

    Book SynopsisHow do you listen effectively when you are already late for a meeting? How do you respond to a girl who is so angry that she's threatening to hit someone? Or to a boy who feels like giving up altogether? How do you listen, not only to students, but also to parents and to colleagues?Whatever your role in school, listening will be at the heart of what you do. Your school will be measured, in part, by the quality of its daily relationships and those relationships will depend on how confidently people are able to listen to each other. This book answers all the difficult questions about how to listen, what to say, confidentiality and more. Helping with particular issues such as bullying, relationship difficulties, depression and self-harm is also covered.With over 35 years' experience in a variety of school roles, Nick Luxmoore offers practical, realistic answers, advice and guidance. This book will be essential reading for teachers and non-teachers alike.Trade ReviewNick Luxmoore has a deep understanding of schools and the young people and adults who inhabit them. Starting from the assumption that we all like to think we listen to each other, this short, accessible book explains how, where there is a genuine will, this can become a reality. By removing the mystique from 'counselling' and providing lots of practical examples, it shows how relatively simply schools can become communities in which all the people really do make time for each other - not just because it's the right thing to do, but also because it makes them more effective places. This book should be required reading for all those adults who work with young people and their families... and most importantly, for school leaders who want to make sure that the words fit the music. -- Bernard Clarke, formerly Headteacher in Oxfordshire schools and Advisory Headteacher in Kent.Table of Contents1. Introduction. 2. Yes, but. There's never enough time! What if I'm not the right person to help? As a listener, what exactly am I trying to achieve? How do I show that I understand? What if I can't help? What if I get upset myself? As a listener, what exactly do I say? What if I don't know what to say? What if someone asks for advice? Should I talk about my own experiences? Is it okay to hug a person? What if I don't like someone? What if they get angry with me? What if someone doesn't want to talk? What if they can't say what they feel? What about confidentiality? What if someone just wants attention? What if they're really clingy? 3. Helping people. Who are struggling with family relationships. Who need to talk about death. Who are stubborn. Who talk of suicide. Who lack self-esteem. Who are angry. Who are being bullied. Who say they're depressed. Who self-harm. Who want to talk about sex. Who can't see the point of life.

  • See One. Do One. Teach One: 12 lessons to support

    John Catt Educational Ltd See One. Do One. Teach One: 12 lessons to support

    Book SynopsisSee One. Do One. Teach One provides a series of 12 engaging lessons for GCSE English pupils, with a particular focus on CCEA specification. The lessons have been created for pupils of all abilities and are based on tried and tested methods within a classroom setting. Pupils learn through direct observation of each task. Each lesson will act as a springboard for NQTs or can provide an opportunity to review and refresh teaching approaches for GCSE English Language. Using Rosenshine's Principles for Instruction, the book primarily focuses on direct instruction and scaffolding, live modelling and annotation, and further opportunities to act on feedback using extension tasks. Pupils 'see' an example in action delivered by an expert; 'do' by completing a related task under the supervision of their teacher; and finally they 'teach' one another by using carefully constructed questions for micro teaching. Teaching the skill or task helps reinforce the knowledge learned and helps the student develop even further toward mastery. The 'Teach One' section includes structured questions to develop vital GCSE recall and oracy skills. Pupils work together to complete independent reading and writing tasks.

The desire to always keep the idea of a whole in mind while discerning the individual was clearly apparent . . . Now we stand before the challenge of further developing our collective work and newly gained insights into the future.'Contributors include Florian Osswald, Ursula Flatters, Susan Weber, Elizabeth Hall, Clara Aerts, Reinoud Engelsman and Claus-Peter Röh.These texts will serve as a basis for further study activity and can contribute to a greater collaborative activity in the Waldorf kindergarten and school movement.Table of ContentsTransitions: The In-Between – Room for Play – Autonomy -- Florian OsswaldTransitions in Childhood: A Medical View of Crises and their Consequences in Later Life -- Ursula FlattersMetamorphoses in the Development of the 'I' from Birth to Age Fourteen -- Susan WeberMetamorphoses in the Development of the 'I' from Birth to Age Fourteen -- Elizabeth HallTogether in the Stream of Life – Metamorphoses in the Adult's Inner Attitude in Relation to the Child -- Clara AertsTogether in the Stream of Life – Metamorphoses in the Adult's Inner Attitude in Relation to the Child -- Reinoud EngelsmanConfiguring Spaces – Shaping Time in Childhood – Building Developmental Bridges for the Future -- Claus-Peter Röh

  • Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume builds a conceptual basis for assessment promoting learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms and proposes practical assessment approaches and activities that CLIL teachers can apply in the classroom. CLIL as an educational context is unique, as language and content learning happen simultaneously. The efficacy of such instruction has been studied extensively, but assessment in CLIL classrooms has drawn much less attention. The present volume aims to fill this gap. Arranged based on different ways that content and language are integrated in CLIL, the chapters in this book together build a solid theoretical basis for assessment promoting learning in CLIL classrooms. The authors discuss how assessment eliciting this integration yields insights into learners' abilities, but more importantly, how these insights are used to promote learning. The contributors to the volume together build the understanding of classroom-based assessment as cyclic, of teaching, learning, and assessment as inter-related, and of content and language in CLIL classrooms as a dialectical unity. This volume will spark interest in and discussion of classroom-based assessment in CLIL among CLIL educators and researchers, enable reflection of classroom assessment practices, and foster collaboration between CLIL teachers and researchers. The assessment approaches and activities discussed in the volume, in turn, will help educators understand the scope of applications of assessment and inspire them to adapt these to their own classrooms.Table of ContentsForewordTable of ContentsList of ContributorsIntroduction to the Volume; Mark de Boer and Dmitri Leontjev PART 1: Conceptualizing CLIL assessment 1.

    Book Synopsis"Kann ich Sie mal kurz sprechen?" - viele Gespräche in der Schule beginnen mit dieser Frage, Gespräche mit Schëler*innen, mit Kolleg*innen, mit Eltern. Und viele Lehrkräfte reagieren mit gemischten Gefëhlen: Der Ort passt nicht, viel Zeit ist auch nicht - was kann man da schon besprechen, wie kann man da helfen?Britta Möhring und Thomas Schlëter machen Mut, sich auf diese Gespräche einzulassen, in der Kërze der Zeit und an genau dem Ort, an dem man angefragt wird. Der Fokus der Gespräche liegt nicht auf dem Problem oder den Defiziten der ratsuchenden Person, sondern auf ihren Möglichkeiten und Ressourcen. Ziel ist es, einen realitätsbezogenen ersten Handlungsschritt zu erarbeiten. Die Autoren geben in diesem Buch theoretischen Input, methodisches Handwerkszeug, Hinweise zur inneren Haltung und praxisnahe Übungen fër gute Gespräche an die Hand. Dabei werden konsequent Elemente des zielorientierten Kurzgesprächs vorgestellt und eingeëbt.
