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
Most feedback books teach teachers how to give better feedback. This book teaches students how to seek better advice.
You invest hours crafting thoughtful feedback. Students glance at the grade and move on. They skim comments, fix surface details, or don’t engage at all — not because your feedback lacks quality, but because they haven’t learned how to identify what they need or seek the right help.
This isn’t a feedback problem. It’s a capability problem.
From Feedback to Advice shows how to develop students who actively direct their own improvement. Through six progressive stages, you’ll move students from passive recipients of comments to confident seekers of targeted advice. Students who can:
Shift from “Is this good?” to “Here’s what I’ve tried and here’s where I need help.”
Identify learning gaps and present evidence of their attempts.
Request precise advice and act on it.
This isn’t a book about writing better comments. It’s about building advice-seeking expertise, the capability that makes your guidance matter.
When students learn to seek the advice they need, they multiply the impact of your teaching, transforming feedback from a one-way exchange into a genuine partnership for growth.

Creative Actions
$59.95
We believe that schools can significantly improve the creative competencies of both teachers and students by leveraging assets they already have, learning a few new things and striving for sensible and sustainable incremental change. In other words – slow food creativity rather than fast food creativity.We also believe that teachers can learn a lot from each other, both within their own subjects but more importantly from teachers who teach other subjects. We have included examples from teachers and subjects around the world to show you that teachers have the capacity and curiosity to succeed. Our experience in schools shows us that teachers are willing and able to face the challenges and opportunities in building their competencies as creative educators, despite some of the barriers they are facing.
