A New Way Forward for Schools
A New Way Forward for Schools $39.95
In an era when schools are drowning in a plethora of latest strategies, compliance measures, and endless data demands, they find themselves constantly chasing the next new thing while struggling to keep teaching and learning as their number one priority. Dr William DeJean is offering a new way forward that these times are calling for. Rather than adding to schools' already full plates, this book cuts through the noise to reveal a simple yet powerful system that helps schools streamline all their teaching and learning efforts, take on new knowledge with ease, and stay laser-focused on making learning stick for everyone. Whether you're a principal, instructional coach or part of a school's leadership team, DeJean doesn't just show you what to do – he shows you how to do it. The result? A new way forward for schools without the overwhelm. 
Using Linguistic Lenses to Journey into Words
Using Linguistic Lenses to Journey into Words $44.95

This book introduces the concept of four Linguistic Lenses—Phonology, Orthography, Morphology and Etymology—offering teachers and school leaders a comprehensive approach to supporting students in navigating the perceived complexities of the English language, boosting literacy levels and enhancing skills in reading comprehension, writing and spelling. By merging linguistic research with practical teaching strategies and real-world classroom examples, teachers will be equipped with the tools to teach word analysis effectively. In today's world, where language serves as a gateway to global knowledge exchange, empowering teachers with tools to differentiate literacy instruction is crucial for nurturing our future leaders. Authored by a teacher, for teachers, it is time to come together to explore the science, truth and logic of our English spelling system.
The Inclusive Early Childhood Educator
The Inclusive Early Childhood Educator $34.95
Drawing from years of hands-on experience in early childhood education, this essential guide arrives at a crucial time when research increasingly shows the first five years of a child's life fundamentally shape their future development and wellbeing. Written by seasoned professionals who have navigated the complexities of early childhood education, the book provides educators with practical strategies for creating truly inclusive learning environments. Rather than offering a simplistic checklist of solutions, the authors, Jane Warren and Blake Stewart, share evidence-based approaches and real-world insights that empower educators to develop thoughtful, individualised approaches to inclusive teaching. At its heart, this book embraces the fundamental principle that every child deserves to be recognised, and celebrated for who they are, while acknowledging the unique challenges educators face in supporting children with disabilities, developmental delays and neurodivergence. The authors provide concrete tools for professional development, family engagement, and creating environments where diversity is genuinely celebrated. Each chapter builds on this foundation with specific strategies, reflection questions and useful templates, making this an indispensable resource for both newcomers to inclusive education and experienced practitioners looking to enhance their practice.
Thriving Together
Thriving Together $39.95
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.

Drawing from extensive research and firsthand accounts, On the Same Wavelength: Neurodiversity, Memory, Learning, and the Autism Spectrum introduces the innovative Thinking, Memory, and Learning Framework (TML), empowering teachers to become cross-cultural interpreters between neurotypical and neurodivergent minds. Through a unique blend of neuroscience, psychology and lived experience, this book challenges traditional teaching approaches and offers practical insights for creating hospitable learning environments that honour cognitive diversity. Whether you're a classroom teacher, school leader or education professional, you'll gain valuable tools for understanding and supporting students with ASD, while learning how to build bridges between different ways of thinking and learning.
