The Next Word: AI & Learners
$39.95
What happens when artificial intelligence becomes the smartest presence in every classroom?
In this essential follow-up to their acclaimed first guide, Dr Nick Jackson and Matthew Esterman team up with Amy Wallace – a current school student whose voice brings authentic urgency to the conversation about AI's role in learning. The Next Word: AI & Learners moves beyond the basics to tackle the complex realities students face today, from banned apps to cognitive offloading, from deepfakes to digital wellbeing.
The authors dive deep into the science of learning, explore how AI is reshaping everything from TikTok education to traditional classrooms, and investigate the crucial question: Is AI a helpful prosthetic or a dangerous crutch? Most importantly, this isn't just another book about students – it's a book with them. Amy's perspective illuminates how young people actually want AI to shape their futures and what authentic learning looks like when machines can seemingly learn everything.
With practical insights for educators worldwide and real-world tools for navigating education's AI-integrated future, The Next Word: AI & Learners ensures you're part of the conversation that's reshaping how we think about learning itself.
Developing Executive Functioning in the Primary Years
$44.95
In an era of rapid global change and uncertain futures, traditional education approaches that focus on what to think rather than how to think are failing to prepare students for tomorrow's challenges. Dr Rosalyn Muir presents a compelling case in Developing Executive Functioning in the Primary Years: SOWATT Can We Do to Empower Learning? for intentionally teaching students "how to fish" rather than simply giving them the fish, by developing the executive functions and self-regulation skills that enable lifelong learning.
Building on the success of her earlier work Developing Executive Functioning in the Early Years: SOWATT Can I Do?, Muir uses the practical SOWATT framework – Self-regulation, Organisation, Working memory, Attention, Thinking flexibly, and Thinking about thinking – to bridge the gap between educational aspirations and classroom reality. This book provides teachers with research-based strategies to develop the executive functions that underpin both academic success and social-emotional wellbeing, addressing skills that are often overlooked yet essential for creating independent, confident learners.
