Calm Leadership

Developing leaders that last

By Patrick Cozier

Written by Patrick Cozier, Calm Leadership offers an inspiring and hopeful insight into his calm approach to school leadership, which he has crafted, developed and honed over his twentyfour years as a school leader. Drawing on his twenty-four years’ experience, Patrick Cozier reflects on the reality of school leadership in Calm Leadership , providing a candid and personal account of his journey. Patrick first stepped into headship in 2006, one of the few Black school leaders in the UK at the time. Over the next two decades, he learned to lead through the highs and lows of the role, from navigating imposter syndrome and everyday pressures to experiencing moments of joy and hard-won progress – and to do so calmly.

At the heart of this book is Patrick’s ‘CALM’ leadership model, honed and crafted by him over many years, which entails: * Confronting uncalm feelings, * Adapting to the feeling of leadership, * Leading people with humanity and understanding, * Maturing into the leader you are meant to be. This model offers a framework for managing stress, staying well and maintaining a positive outlook so that readers can sustain leadership roles in the long term. This book addresses a part of leadership that’s often overlooked: what it feels like to lead. The central message of this book is that leadership doesn’t have to be a burnout job; it can be a source of joy, fulfilment and lasting impact when approached with the right mindset and strategies, which Patrick presents with clarity, passion and heart. Essential for current and aspiring school leaders at all levels.

Beyond Compliance

The DSL's guide to creating a school-wide culture of safeguarding

By Delyth Lynch

In Beyond Compliance, Delyth Lynch draws on her 15 years’ experience as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to offer a guide to creating a safeguarding culture that is coherent, sustainable and embedded into every aspect of school life. DSLs carry enormous responsibility, and this book offers guidance on how we can create a shared culture of safeguarding within schools that truly lasts. It will give DSLs of all levels the confidence and knowledge they need to thrive in this important and rewarding role.

Combining clear theory with case studies and practical suggestions, Delyth shares strategies and helpful advice that will make safeguarding enduring and adaptable, involving a cyclical strategy of assessment, review and action. She offers guidance on how to make sustainable safeguarding a shared vision in schools, arguing that when the practice is understood, embraced by all, and even made interesting and fun, it naturally underpins every decision made and imbues every conversation that takes place in school.

Written with warmth and a tremendous passion for keeping young people in schools and colleges safe, Delyth offers an enthusiastic and enabling handbook for those working in this vital role. Essential for all current and aspiring DSLs, school leaders, governors and safeguarding training consultants. This will also be useful for those with a responsibility for safeguarding in any organisations outside of education.

Great Expectations

A Practitioner's Handbook

By Margaret Semrud-Clikeman, Catherine A. Fiorello

Now in a revised and expanded second edition reflecting key developments in understanding brain-behavior relationships, this accessible book helps school practitioners integrate neuropsychological principles into data-based decision making.

Chapters elucidate the neuropsychological processes involved in reading, math, and writing disabilities; neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders; and medical issues that may affect learning and behavior. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes concrete assessment and intervention guidance, case examples, "InDepth" boxes, and reproducible and downloadable tools.

Adaptive Teaching Culture to the classroom

By Andrew Young

By focusing less on labels and more on cognitive load, executive functioning and working memory and communication, the reader is equipped to cater for the needs of pupils with SEND in much more productive and sensitive ways. Rather than seeing the children as the barrier, this approach encourages teachers to understand the barriers that they are faced with, and this shift in perspective makes adaptive teaching feel achievable and transformative. Structured around four key areas (culture, brains, teaching and curriculum), this book connects theory to practice with clarity and purpose. Adaptive teaching is not about adding more to a teacher’s workload. It’s about refining what we already know works, using pragmatic teaching and learning strategies and pupil-centred practice with greater care and intentionality.
