The A-Z of Diversity and Inclusion is a powerful blend of advice, reflection and provocation on these vital topics, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet. Great educators recognise how diversity enriches their organisation. They have an ambition for every learner (adult and child) to be seen, represented and included, for their needs to be met and any barriers they are experiencing to be understood, tackled and overcome. To achieve this requires dogged determination, relentless and forensic focus and unwavering optimism and energy. Inclusive educators quite literally change lives.

The A-Z of School Improvement
By Tim Coulson
The A - Z of School Improvement is an authoritative 'can -do' guide to all aspects of improving schools, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet. School improvement is about getting every detail right. The serious school leader pays attention to every aspect of school life and focuses on improving it and aiming for excellence. One of the marks of the successful school leader is a forensic attention to detail. They will look closely and carefully at every aspect of a particular issue, analyse data, and only agree on interpretations after much consideration. While much of a school leader's work is relational, motivational, and relentless, bringing a forensic mindset to bear ensures that actions towards improvement are focused and thoughtful.

The A-Z of Great Classrooms
By Roy Blatchford
The A-Z of Great Classrooms is a celebration of that magical double act of teaching and learning, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet. Roy Blatchford notes in the introduction: Across continents I have enjoyed being in the presence of children, young people and adults being taught by teachers who love their work and whose passion for subject shines through their every gesture and every word. The best lessons - you just don’t want them to end! And there’s nothing quite like the professional privilege of being in such classrooms, laboratories, dance studios, workshops, music practice rooms, sports halls, libraries, learning centres, sensory zones, outdoor settings, lecture theatres - wherever the learning unfolds. In Section One readers will form their own views about whether the A-Z alphabetical headings impose an editorial strait-jacket when teaching and learning are such dynamic affairs.

By Simon Watson
The A-Z of International School Leadership is a stimulating collection of sharp insights and creative perspectives drawing on the authors global experiences, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet. "Leaders of international schools are free to choose from the best educational initiatives around the world, yet many find themselves blinkered by slavishly following historical traditions and patriotic ruts. The hindrance to development and innovation that follows from ploughing the single furrow is self-evident. The best schools are open and outward thinking, ready to critically accept ideas from around the world, even if these ideas emanate from people in countries other than their own. International schools are ideally placed to be at the forefront of innovation in education." - Simon Watson

This theory is unpacked here to demonstrate that the only way to achieve this is to teach meaningfully.

Fiorella & Mayer's Generative Learning in Action
By Zoe Enser, Mark Enser
Generative Learning in Action helps to answer the question: which activities can students carry out to create meaningful learning? It does this by considering how we, as teachers, can implement the eight strategies for generative learning set out in the work of Fiorella and Mayer in their seminal 2015 work Learning as a Generative Activity: Eight Learning Strategies that Promote Learning. At a time when a great deal of attention has been paid to the teaching and learning from the perspective of effective instruction, Generative Learning looks at the flip side of coin and considers what is happening in the minds of the learner. This book takes a teachers-eye view of a range of theories of learning and keeps their application to the classroom firmly in mind through the use of case studies and reference to day to day practice.
