Character Education Series by Dr Phil Cummins $100.00 $119.80

Teaching History
Teaching History $44.95
Teaching History: A Practical Guide for Secondary School Teachers offers educators a clear and concise guide to navigating the unique challenges of history education. This book provides a balanced approach, combining practical strategies with thoughtful insights into the nature of historical thinking, helping teachers develop both their understanding of the subject and their instructional techniques. Grounded in current research and real-world experience, this resource covers essential topics from unit planning and assessment design to working with historical scholarship and sources. While invaluable for early-career teachers, it will be equally beneficial to veterans seeking a fresh overview of the curricular landscape in the context of history education. By emphasising the 'bifocal' nature of history teaching - balancing historical and instructional thinking - this book equips teachers with the tools they need to create engaging, effective and meaningful history classes.
The Pruning Principle
The Pruning Principle $34.95
The Pruning Principle offers a groundbreaking approach to educational leadership, drawing inspiration from horticulture to address the chronic issues of overwork and inefficiency in schools. The authors, Dr Simon Breakspear and Michael Rosenbrock, propose a radical shift from the culture of “doing more” to one of strategic subtraction, arguing that by carefully pruning away non-essential tasks and initiatives, schools can achieve better outcomes with less strain on resources and staff. This practical guide provides a comprehensive framework for implementing The Pruning Principle in educational settings. It outlines the causes of current challenges, introduces the concept and mechanics of pruning, and offers detailed, actionable steps for creating sustainable work rhythms and decision-making processes. With its focus on achievable improvement and educator wellbeing, this book promises to be an invaluable resource for school leaders seeking to cultivate more-effective and balanced educational environments.
The A to Z of Feelings
The A to Z of Feelings $44.95
The A to Z of Feelings will help you:         differentiate genuine people from those who are fake         separate honest people from liars         know who truly likes you         know who to trust and who not to         understand what upsets you and what to do about it         learn how to shelve, settle and calm your worries         learn how to replicate times of happiness, inspiration and creativity         learn how to react more positively to moments of anger or conflict. In perhaps his most ambitious and comprehensive work yet, leading psychologist Andrew Fuller examines the most common emotions and explains what they are, how they work, and how you can use them for your own personal good, rather than letting them rule your life. He explains the origins of emotions and outlines the pathways of the brain that surround and allow emotional development. Divided into easy-to-read, bite-size chunks, The A to Z of Feelings can be dipped into for quick reference or read at leisure for a more detailed understanding. It is essentially a recipe book for all your feelings!
