INTRODUCTION Welcome to our 2018 catalogue, which is jam-packed with essential classroom resources, wonderful poetry, fiction and non-fiction, and inspiring professional development books for all of those working with children aged 5–18. The Bloomsbury CPD Library (pages 8 and 9) continues to grow, supporting training in schools with accessible and practical books, its unique ‘teach yourself’ so you can ‘teach others’ approach, and its wealth of online resources. We are confident schools will find this an invaluable resource for teacher CPD to help equip staff as professionals. Look out for Rob Carpenter’s Manifesto for Excellence in Schools (page 15), an essential read for all teachers committed to providing the best education for the children in their care. Other new titles tackle current issues such as teacher retention, wellbeing, the attainment gap and behaviour from authors including Emma Kell, Daniel Sobel and Sue Cowley. We are delighted to offer an expanded high low fiction range (pages 42–47) including The Football Trials in time for the World Cup in June, a new series by John Hickman with an interest age of 12+ and a reading age of 9+. Designed to help struggling and reluctant readers and those with dyslexia or EAL, our high low fiction is printed on cream paper with a dyslexia-friendly font. Approved by literacy experts Catch Up, we are confident our high low fiction will help all children develop a love of reading. Key Stage 1 teachers should be sure to take a look at our brand new series for 2018, Bloomsbury Young Readers (pages 38 and 39). These book-banded stories by brilliant authors such as Tony Bradman, Jenny McLachlan, Julia Donaldson and Joanna Nadin are packed with colourful illustrations and quirky characters young readers will find hard to resist! There are lots more books we’d like to show you, so enjoy browsing the catalogue, check out the order form for further titles, read our blog bloomsburyeducation.wordpress.com or visit bloomsbury.com/education to see more of our fantastic books.

There are many reasons for this: lack of time in the curriculum, lack of training, lack of teacher confidence, or simply lack of inspiration.

Not Quite a Teacher

The A-Z of School Improvement

Tom Bennett

Tim Brighouse and David Woods

Teacher offers a unique approach to professional development that focuses on building an individual teaching personality, rather than following a rule book. It includes case studies, anecdotes and humorous illustrations reflecting on what it means to be a teacher and why it is the most rewarding profession there is.

This humorous book has a serious intent: to reassure trainees and NQTs who are parachuted into difficult schools without anything like the right level of preparation. Tom Bennett walks you through the training and initial teaching practice, offering practical advice and wisdom from the more experienced vantage point of hindsight.

This is not a book about the school system as a whole or how governments can help or hinder school improvement. It is a book about supporting and inspiring leaders and teachers to help schools achieve ever greater success.

Teaching for Mastery in Writing Mike Cain Teaching for Mastery in Writing promotes the importance of a classroom culture characterised by focused talk and reasoning, and provides ideas for challenging children in their writing through the development of critical thinking skills. Writing is a tough discipline in today’s primary schools and the number of skills children are expected to learn is a source of amazement to many. Writing is no easier to teach, not least because of the demands on schools, including the National Curriculum, SPaG tests, assessment frameworks and inspections. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that teachers focus on helping children become effective communicators through the medium of writing. Publishes 12th July 2018

40 Lessons to Get Children Thinking

The If Machine

The If Odyssey

Peter Worley

This practical resource book is packed with Peter Worley’s ‘philosophical thought experiments’ – imaginary situations designed to test an idea or intuition through profound thinking. Each session is followed by a series of questions encouraging children to challenge key philosophical ideas such as values and ethics, gender and identity, and existence and beauty. This book is ideal for primary teachers who want to introduce philosophical enquiry into their classroom.

Drawing out the philosophy that lies behind each story in Homer’s epic tale, Peter Worley introduces children not only to the exciting fables of Odysseus, but also to that other great Ancient Greek tradition – philosophy. It includes teaching plans and storytelling tips to facilitate philosophical discussions for 8–16-year-olds.

Inspire your class with exciting philosophy experiments, stories and poetry. This is an A4 collection of practical lesson plans and activities to get children thinking more deeply, creatively and philosophically around different curriculum topics. PB • 297 x 210mm • 160pp • 9781472916082 • £19.99

17,300 years ago, Lascaux, France. Willow isn’t the strongest or fastest in his tribe – he is careful and clever. But that’s not what matters to the other boys. All they care about who is the best hunter. So when the brawny and brash Bull takes over as the tribe’s chief, it’s going to take all of Willow’s wits to survive.

9,500 years ago, as the Ice Age is ending... Jay’s grandfather is old, but he is wise too. Jay loves to sit in their house by the river and listen to his stories of the Great Spirit and the Earth Mother. But outside, danger is at their door; food is getting scarcer, tribes are at war, and all the time the river water is rising...

Publishes 8th March 2018

Mesopotamia, 2,500 years ago. Everyone in the tribe needs to work; all the men go hunting apart from Sin-leqi, that is. He stays home and reads tales of the legendary Gilgamesh, tales that are so fantastastical that lazy Sin-leqi doesn’t have to work, as long as he keeps telling them. But when the story comes to end, Sin-leqi is in trouble...

Skara Brae, Orkney, Scotland, 5,000 years ago. On the cold and windy island Tuc and his sister Storm eat fish day in, day out, and they’re sick of it. But when a thief steals half their tribe’s winter food stores, being bored of their dinner is the least of their problems. What if they starve? And even worse, what if it’s true that their father’s the thief?
