A Practical Guide for Planning Project-Based Learning
Written for busy teachers with realistic challenges in mind, this interactive, visually accessible guide introduces a clear and efficient process for planning enriching project-based learning units.
The NEW Team Habits provides a new lens and tools to implement the 6 key lessons from The New School Rules. It provides concrete practices to use in making your development, meetings, projects, roles, decisions, and processes more responsive. In doing so the authors orient the use of the rules through interactions that every team routinely has (attending meetings, planning projects, developing processes, etc). The workbook provides practical tools leaders can use on a daily basis and provides a roadmap for thinking about change, from what you can do on your own, to what you can do with a single team, and what you can do with your entire organization.

There is something quite magical about forming a connection to a book: the way in which the words on the page can conjure feelings of excitement, fun, joy, laughter or tears, channeling the part of our being that fundamentally makes us human. The journey that children take as they travel towards becoming a competent and confident reader can be a long, winding and complex road. This book helps teachers understand how to build a quality reading rich curriculum that supports the needs of all the children in their classroom. Starting with a section on choosing texts, the book goes on to explore a variety of essential teaching approaches from a read aloud programme, to drama and storytelling, art and illustration. This is a practical resource that provides teachers and schools ideas to support the embedding of text experience and deliver a reading rich curriculum that leads to higher student attainment and working at greater depth.
