In Thriving Together, seasoned educator David Kolpak presents a comprehensive blueprint for revolutionising wellbeing in schools. Drawing from over 30 years of experience across various educational roles, Kolpak offers practical strategies for creating flourishing environments where both staff and students can thrive. This timely guide challenges the traditional approach to student behaviour management, instead advocating for a holistic understanding of wellbeing that encompasses mental, emotional and physical health. Grounded in positive psychology and enriched by insights from leading experts in the field, this book provides educators with actionable frameworks for embedding wellbeing into school culture. From implementing trauma-informed practices to fostering gratitude and resilience, Kolpak's guidance is both practical and profound. Whether you're a classroom teacher seeking to enhance your own wellbeing toolkit or a school leader aiming to cultivate a more positive school culture, Thriving Together offers invaluable strategies for creating sustainable change in educational communities.

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.
