Lean Monitoring
$34.95
Leading school improvement means navigating long stretches of uncertainty between launching a strategy and seeing results. Too often, school leaders find themselves in what Dr Simon Breakspear calls the messy middle: too far in to stop, but too far from the end to know if they are on track. Lean Monitoring: How to Know if What You're Doing is Actually Working is a practical guide to closing that gap, helping school leaders build simple, sustainable habits for tracking progress during improvement work rather than waiting for end-of-year data that arrives too late to act on.
The first book in the Agile School Improvement Series, Lean Monitoring introduces one of three core practices at the heart of Simon's approach to leading change in schools: staying oriented during the journey rather than hoping things are heading in the right direction. Drawing on a decade of work alongside more than 5,000 school leaders across multiple countries, Simon offers clear frameworks and ready-to-use tools including the Impact Canvas, Data Capture Card and Insight Protocol, giving leaders the confidence to make better decisions mid-course and keep improvement moving forward.

Early Phonetic Readers by Shelley Davidow bundle
$49.95
$59.70
Get all six books in this special bundle.
These warm and wonderful readers will delight both students and teachers as they guide young children along the path of written language one step at a time. Written in order and phonetically, each story focuses on specific word groups, sounds and sentence structures. Each story has a beginning, middle and an ending. Succeeding stories build on these skills and then move on to the next level of skill. The books are conceived in much the same way as the "Dick and Jane" readers of an earlier era, but with a very important difference: these stories have a touching "heart content" to them.
The stories are gently humorous while honoring nature, animals and the environment. The illustrations in their warm simplicity are wonderful compliments to the stories! Whether you are rewarding an eager reader with a first experience of reading something someone else wrote, or helping a struggling reader get the hang of all those letters, these readers are sheer joy for everyone.
The six books use simple words that the early reader will easily grasp. They have been carefully chosen by a reading specialist to help students advance from the short vowels to the silent "e" to the vowel combinations. At the back of each book is a list of sight words that should be reviewed with the child before reading the book.
Appropriate for Grades 1-3.
The Secret Pet: Book 1
$16.95
The Secret Pet follows the delightful Early Reader Series of books also written by Shelley Davidow.
In this first chapter book, we meet again several of the characters from the introductory series, most notably the boy Tim and Jake the magical snake. Tim and Jake become fast friends, both of them deciding that they simply must be together. This entails Tim sneaking Jake into his home, since Tim's mother is not very fond of snakes, and into school, where pets really aren't welcome. Through their adventures, they both discover some truths about the differences between life in the wild and life in a home, and how it is that we change our habits and inclinations out of love for one another.
A perfect chapter book for young readers who are learning to decode consonant and vowel blends, punctuation meaning and sentence structure. The book focuses on vowel teams such as ea, ie, oe, ue, digraphs, open and closed syllables and more.

From Feedback to Advice
$44.95
You invest hours crafting thoughtful feedback. Students spend seconds looking at it.
They skim comments, correct surface details, or ask “Is this good?”—not because your feedback lacks quality, but because they haven't yet learned how to identify what they need or seek the right help. Guidance that should accelerate learning stalls, through no fault of teacher expertise.
This isn’t a feedback problem. It's a learner capability problem.
From Feedback to Advice shows how to develop students who actively seek the help they need and act on it with purpose. By making your thinking visible—revealing the feedback process you’ve always managed internally—you help students understand how improvement actually works. Through six progressive stages, James Anderson presents a practical pathway for developing students’ capacity to direct their own improvement.
You'll learn how to cultivate students who:
Shift from “Is this good?” to “Here's what I've tried, and here's where I need help”
Understand and navigate the improvement process themselves
Identify their learning gaps and present evidence of their attempts
Request specific, purposeful advice rather than waiting for evaluation
Take increasing ownership of their learning—lesson by lesson, year by year
This isn't a book about writing better comments. It's a book about developing the learner capability that makes feedback matter.
With practical strategies for primary and secondary classrooms, and a clear progression leaders can implement school-wide, this book offers a systematic approach to strengthening learner expertise.
When students develop the capability to seek the help they need—and act on it—feedback finally works as intended. Learning accelerates. And the improvement process you once carried alone becomes a genuine partnership.
