SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Quiet Leadership The Power of Introversion in Schools By Andrew Marsh NEW In a culture that celebrates loud, charismatic or dominant leaders, introverts are often told they don't fit the mould for successful head teachers. But in Quiet Leadership, Andrew Marsh argues that quiet, thoughtful leaders can be just as effective, and that introverts bring a unique skillset to the role. Drawing on nearly two decades of practical experience as a head teacher, Andrew shows how introverts can thrive in school leadership roles because of their introversion, not despite it. An antidote to the current climate of charismatic, hero leaders who push ideas through despite the consequences, this book demonstrates how great results can be achieved through quiet, thoughtful and considered leadership. With honesty and practical insight, Andrew offers strategies for making strong appointments, driving effective school improvement and boosting pupil outcomes - all while leading in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for introverts.
Author Bio: Recently retired from headship, Andrew Marsh has over thirty years' experience in education and nearly twenty in school leadership. He's worked mainly in small primary schools and, as well as leading his own school, he's assisted his LEA with acting headteacher positions, helping other schools that were in crisis.
Whether you're an aspiring leader unsure whether your quiet, thoughtful nature is 'enough' for the role, or already in post and looking to lead in a way that feels authentic, this book is a supportive and inspiring guide to embracing your unique strengths as an introvert.

How I Wish I'd Taught Writing By Dr. Tim Mills, Clare Sealy
JOHN CATT EDUCATIONAL LTD
There are four myths that hinder the teaching of writing. First, that it is so cognitively complex that there can be no established pedagogy that captures that complexity in a rational and teachable progression. Second, that the research on teaching writing is so thin as to be almost irrelevant. Third, that reading and writing are inverses and so long as we teach reading we are per se teaching writing. Fourth, that writing is a creative form and is therefore a divine gift rather than a teachable social necessity.
