Great teachers make a huge difference to students' lives. Empowering teachers to make consistent improvements to their practice, throughout their careers, is the key to this. How can schools create the conditions for this to happen?Instructional Coaching - an evidence-based, school-centred approach to supporting teachers - seems to be the answer. Over the last thirty years, significant evidence has emerged suggesting that it's one of the most effective tools we have to improve teaching. To ensure that teachers can benefit from the power of Instructional Coaching, it's vital that we are clear about what it is, and how best to do it.Responsive Coaching will answer these questions, and more. Bridging the gap between research and real coaching practice, Josh Goodrich examines the evidence about why teaching is so difficult to get better at, and how we can empower teachers to make consistent improvement. He examines contrasting coaching models, using research and practical experience to build a hybrid coaching model that enables coaches to flex their approach depending on where a teacher is on their journey towards expertise. Josh distils his Responsive Coaching approach into five central areas, unpacking the underpinning research, giving concrete examples of great coaching in action, and ending with a toolkit of practical coaching strategies that you can use, today, to support every teacher to improve.Combining robust research evidence from a wide range of fields with the practical wisdom of experienced, effective teachers, leaders and coaches, the book is a complete toolkit for building coaching that really works, for every teacher.
Youth mental health challenges are on the rise. The educator attrition rate is leaving schools scrambling to fill positions. And everyone is on information overload. As a school counselor, Katie Pagnotta saw these statistics in action and was compelled to create a resource that would synthesize best practices in a way that not only eased the role of the educators but ignited joy within the job. And in doing so, educators would be more aptly positioned to support the needs of all students!Empowered by the Human Design is the culmination of Katie's passion, experience, and research. It takes historically fragmented best-practice initiatives such as social emotional learning, trauma-responsive care, mental health literacy, and equity and integrates them into one framework, Brain- and Body- Aligned Responsive Systems (BBARS) of Excellence. The BBARS of Excellence framework is grounded in evidence-based approaches and strategies within the fields of education, psychology, and neuroscience. Gathering 18 professionals from these respective fields, the author expertly weaves their interviews throughout the book to showcase a tapestry of collective wisdom. Empowered by the Human Design masterfully highlights the research and science behind the framework and then turns the concepts into simple and practical application strategies that educators can implement immediately. This book is an educator survival guide to emerge from challenges as a more resilient, joyful teacher who fosters connection, belonging, and engagement for students.

'Comprehensive and groundbreaking.' Dylan WiliamEquity in Education sets out a new equity-based approach in education to help teachers improve the prospects of under-resourced and working-class pupils.The equity approach recognises that we must address our own cultural biases and barriers within the classroom, while helping to remove extra barriers to learning experienced by children outside schools. Based on thousands of research studies and years of working with expert teachers, the book sets out the principles and practical strategies for trainee teachers, teachers and teacher leaders.Adopting an equity mindset involves four key principles:· equity not equality - doing more to overcome the extra barriers some learners experience· capacity not deficit thinking - recognising the talents in all pupils· deep not shallow relationships - developing authentic individual relationships with pupils· multiple not singular talents - acknowledging that human talents come in many forms.Equity in Education also advocates the national policies that would enable teachers to prioritise an equitable approach and reduce divides between the education haves and have-nots.
Beginnings hold power and promise for what is to come.As We Begin offers a scholarly yet energizing perspective on the beautiful complexity of teaching and learning during a child's foundational years. Henteleff brings together insights from big thinkers in education alongside research from Mind, Brain, and Education, and her own experiences in the classroom to explore the important role of early childhood educators and education in a way that is at once, serious, conversational, and inspiring. Explaining and applying important concepts from the science of teaching and learning in practical classroom terms, she examines the role of play, literacy, numeracy, creativity, and imagination as integrated and essential components of developing a child's intellectual curiosity. As We Begin offers ideas, rather than prescriptions, for a balanced early childhood educational program.
The curriculum is the driving force for excellent teaching and learning in any school.
