Cultures of Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools: Reflecting on Positive Case Studies
• Investigates how children engage in learning through playing and exploring, and are motivated through active learning
“This book exemplifies good practice and will hopefully inspire other to follow its case study leads.”
Characteristics of Effective Early Learning 2e
Cath Arnold Practitioner and Researcher March 2021 Print 9780335249978 eBook 9780335249985
“This book is an outstanding reference guide for all school leaders who wish to implement a culture of wellbeing based on evidence and success. A must read!”
The author, her grandmother, draws on seven years of data from diaries, photos and Gabby’s own writing to consider her development and learning when cared for by both her parents and grandparents.
Observing Gabby: Child Development and Learning, 0-7 Years
The headteachers in this book have reversed this trend by implementing a whole-school culture of staff wellbeing and mental health. It has taken courage, determination and authenticity to strip back the tasks of teaching and focus on what is key in any school – relationships, not only between the children and their teachers but also between the staff themselves. This book is headteachers’/ senior leaders’ accounts, in their own words, of how focusing on wellbeing and mental health has transformed their schools.
Key Title
Teachers have never been under so much pressure. High stakes accountability has led to many teachers considering leaving a profession they once loved or resigning. Many cite workload and a lack of professional respect and reward as reasons for their disillusionment. Teachers are suffering from anxiety and depression and, in the worst cases, burnout.
• Explores how children become creative and critical thinkers able to review their own learning and thinking, imaginatively solving problems and excited by their own • Examines appropriate approaches to observation, assessment and planning • Supports practitioners in reporting on how children demonstrate these characteristics for the revised EYFS profile Rich in practical examples and case studies, this is an essential read for early years students and practitioners who want to find out more about how to promote the characteristics of effective early learning in their practice. This new edition is updated with a chapter on practitioner interaction with children and a chapter on effective parental interaction.
David Gumbrell, Founder of The Resilience Project
The chapters are presented in a chronological order as a ‘running record’ going from 0-1 year right through to 6-7 years and can be analysed through a range of theories and frameworks. With chapters considering theory and the data separately the reader can reach their own conclusions on child development before exploring the author’s analyses. Each chapter also considers the relevance of Ofsted’s Intent, Implementation and Impact framework and other theories and schemas. This book is a fascinating insight into how young children learn, for those studying or working in the early years field. It includes access to an online learning centre of video clips to bring the descriptions to life and provide further insight into Gabby’s development.
This book is about Gabby, an inquisitive girl who leads her own learning very effectively with support from the adults in her life.
The key argument of The Characteristics of Effective Early Learning 2e is that how children learn is as important as what they learn. This book helps you understand how to support the learning and development of young children through promoting the characteristics of effective early learning: play and exploring, active learning, and creating and thinking critically.

With questions for reflection and ideas for teachers to implement in the classroom, this important book bridges the gap between theory and practice and is recommended reading for trainee teachers, teacher trainers and qualified teachers alike.
In the current global movement towards inclusion and equal participation in education for all, it is paradoxical that very little attention has been paid to learners with the most profound and complex needs, for whom inclusion in education can be very challenging to achieve.

Gary Thomas and Andrew Loxley University of Birmingham, UK, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland December 2021 Print 9780335248711 eBook 9780335248728
A much-needed resource for student teachers, teaching professionals, post-graduate researchers and academics working in the field of MSI, as well as all those interested in inclusive education for all, even the most vulnerable.
The book offers guidance to students on specific issues such as reading and behavioural difficulties with theoretically grounded information. With a fresh chapter discussing current research, intersectionality and increased marketisation within education this book reflects the new landscape and legislation of special education.
Inclusive Education for Learners with Multi-sensory Impairment: Best Practices and Research Priorities Deconstructing Special Education and Constructing Inclusion 3e Bringing the Curriculum to Life: Engaging Learners in the English Education System Behaving Together in the Classroom: A Teacher’s Guide to Nurturing Behaviour
Written by practising teachers and academics, this book highlights challenges and opportunities within the current English education system. The book integrates theory and practice to illustrate the ability of teachers and, sometimes, families themselves, to think creatively about ways in which they can harness the interests and strengths of young people to bring about engagement in learning. This is despite, as some see it, the strictures of the mandated National Curriculum.
Sarah
Kamenopoulou’s book addresses this gap in the literature on MSI (multi-sensory impairment) and educational inclusion by synthesising theoretical literature and up-to-date research, and by providing effective teaching strategies and illustrative examples from practice. The book provides evidence-based tools, strategies and approaches that teaching professionals can use when working with learners with MSI in any educational setting.
How can we increase learner engagement with the National Curriculum and why is it important? Janice Wearmouth and Karen Lindley bring together contributions that answer these questions and demonstrate the impact on student achievement at all levels.
Aileen Morrison, Headteacher, St Matthias Academy AP “Each chapter offers a reflective look at specific aspects of transformative learning which will be of interest to practitioners and academics alike.“ Julie Wharton, Senior Lecturer, University of Winchester, UK “... very little attention has been paid to learners with the most profound and complex needs, for whom inclusion in education can be very challenging to achieve.”
• Perspectives on a range of educational contexts, including Pupil Referral Units and schools outside the mainstream
• Clear definitions explaining common technical or medical jargon
This revised edition of a popular text offers students an updated and comprehensive overview across special education. It critically examines the intellectual foundations of special education and considers the consequences of their influence for professional and popular thinking about learning difficulties. The chapters place inclusion within a social and political context to highlight how concepts have been influences by theory and ideology across the years.
Behaving Together provides teachers with frameworks and processes to help them identify, understand and support the issues children bring to the classroom. Using a clear five step formula, the book explores the perspectives of children, to guide teachers as they support them within the school environment. Rather than punishing unwanted behaviour, the book begins with the assumption that behaviour is our innate form of communication, that should be supported rather than controlled. It recognises the network of relationships within a school’s community and provides helpful resources to support a child’s inclusion in school life, including:

Existing and ongoing conceptual debates continue to shape how we perceive multiculturalism and other concepts that can be applied to education. Political and social consequences allow an examination of integration in contemporary policy contexts. Issues of faith schooling and citizenship remain as or more important than they have been in the past. The material in this new edition also extends these debates and provides a perfect resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students. The continuing interest from both students and within the wider academy of this material highlights that this text is not only relevant for educationalists, but also for the wider social and professional sciences.
Understanding Character Education and Personal Development: Applications, Approaches and Issues
“An excellent addition to the thinking educator’s bookshelf.”
“Mastering Teaching is a core, comprehensive, credible and cutting-edge introduction to early career teacher learning.”
This book synthesises and reframes the distinct schools of thought within the Educational Effectiveness and Improvement (EEI) fields. At the book’s heart is a problem: that educational improvement is often short-lived, rarely achieved at scale and, as some prominent researchers have argued, mostly illusory. The EEI field is divided. This book describes and critiques this divided field and reviews, synthesises and reframes the combined knowledge base.

This book builds on the experiences of school leaders, early career teachers and their mentors and responds to the challenges that new teachers face as they move beyond initial teacher training. Practiced educators provide research-informed guidance in each chapter to scaffold new teachers’ workplace learning when the learning curve is steepest. Support for new teachers is vitally important in enhancing teaching quality, promoting teacher wellbeing, and reducing staff burnout rates. Each chapter, co-authored by school-based and universitybased teacher educators, contains rich illustrative examples and vignettes from lead practitioners in UK primary and secondary schools. The book is relevant across curriculum areas and phases of education so that all new teachers can ease their transition into teaching, build their confidence and lay foundations for their career-long professional growth. Speaking to new and recently qualified teachers as well as coordinators of professional learning in schools, this book is an essential resource for teacher CPD.
Thomas Perry and Rebecca Morris University of Birmingham, UK and Warwick University, UK October 2021 Print 9780335249398 eBook 9780335249404
The book draws on a flagship module from the University of Birmingham educational leadership Master’s programmes which fosters rich engagement and discussion between researchers and school leaders about the problems, methods and findings of the EEI knowledge base. The book offers a critical examination of EEI research and how school leaders can critically and judiciously harness research and evidence to improve their schools. This ground-breaking book is essential reading for EEI researchers, evidenceinformed school leaders and those studying educational effectiveness and improvement research and practice.
This book highlights how education has responded to the new challenges arising in the 21st century. The changes go beyond the new forms of technology to emphasise the changing nature of education’s purpose as preparation for the workplace and society. There is now increasing importance placed on skills like collaboration, teamwork, critical thinking and autonomy which are often described as ‘21st century skills’. The book develops a comprehensive teaching approach that touches on theory but is also clear about what this means to classrooms in practice. The chapters encourage a dialogue between theory and practice so that each teacher can develop their own skills in tandem with their own experience.
