 | Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader
Title: Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader
Author: Herminia Ibarra
A new edition of the bestseller that has helped aspiring leaders worldwide advance their careers and step up to larger leadership roles.
You aspire to lead with greater impact. The problem is you're busy executing on today's demands. You know you have to carve out time from your 'day job' to build your leadership skills, but it's easy to let immediate problems and old mindsets get in the way.
Herminia Ibarra - one of the world's foremost experts on leadership - shows how individuals at all levels can step up to leadership by making small but crucial changes in their jobs, their networks, and themselves. In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, Ibarra offers advice to:
* Redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions
* Diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a wider range of stakeholders
*Become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar - and possibly outdated- leadership style to evolve
Ibarra turns the usual leadership advice - generate insight about yourself through reflection and analysis of your strengths and weaknesses - on its head by arguing that you must first act and experiment your way into trying new things. The valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation - which Ibarra calls outsight - provides new and critical information on what kind of work is important to you, how you should invest your time, why and which relationships matter, and, ultimately, who you want to become.
Updated with new examples and self-assessments, this book gives you the tools to start acting like a leader and advancing your career to the next level.

 | All Learning Is Social and Emotional
All Learning Is Social and Emotional
Nancy Frey , Douglas Fisher, Dominique Smith
*Special Confernece Offer - $24*
While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others.
If you teach kids rather than standards, and if you want all kids to get what they need to thrive, Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Dominique Smith offer a solution: a comprehensive, five-part model of SEL that's easy to integrate into everyday content instruction, no matter what subject or grade level you teach. You'll learn the hows and whys of
* Building students' sense of identity and confidence in their ability to learn, overcome challenge, and influence the world around them.
* Helping students identify, describe, and regulate their emotional responses.
* Promoting the cognitive regulation skills critical to decision making and problem solving.
* Fostering students' social skills, including teamwork and sharing, and their ability to establish and repair relationships.
* Equipping students to becoming informed and involved citizens.
Along with a toolbox of strategies for addressing 33 essential competencies, you'll find real-life examples highlighting the many opportunities for social and emotional learning within the K-12 academic curriculum. Children's social and emotional development is too important to be an add-on or an afterthought, too important to be left to chance. Use this book's integrated SEL approach to help your students build essential skills that will serve them in the classroom and throughout their lives.

 | Atomic Habits
Title: Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones
Author: James Clear
A revolutionary system to get 1 per cent better every day
People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call.
He calls them atomic habits.
In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.
These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

 | Botheredness
Title: Botheredness: Stories, stance and pedagogy
Author: Hywel Roberts
This is an education book that is like no other that has gone before. It won't tell you what to do minute by minute, lesson by lesson, day by day. It won't batter you with impenetrable research or tell you what you must think. You won't even find a scheme of work in it - some planning ideas, for sure, even a template or two, but there's no spoon-feeding here. It's just a book that invites you to consider where you are in your own educational journey. It's a book to get youbothered.
Botheredness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to sum up the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is real and deliberate and gets children and young people on board with learning. It is the holy grail of teaching and something that will both significantly improve your enjoyment of teaching and benefit your classes enormously.
This book is therefore an exploration of the road less travelled, backed up with Hywel's own experiences, reflections and research down the rabbit hole of contemporary education. It's about the reinstatement of professional integrity, the teacher as storyteller, and the need for our professional imaginations to be nurtured and curated. Hywel sets out to help teachers enhance their understanding of what it means to lead learning and thinking, to stand beside children as well as in front of them, whilst developing their knowledge acquisition with compassion, warmth and optimism.
If you are looking for an education book that will inspire not dictate, that will entertain, challenge and fire up your imagination in equal measure, that allows you to think beyond a path laid out by scripted lessons, downloadable schemes and quick-fix fads, then this is the book for you.
Providing clear strategies around imaginative and effective planning, supported by genuine examples of powerful classroom work from primary, special and secondary settings, this book is an essential guide to reclaiming your professional warmth, passion, and care - your botherednesss - in the classroom. Written by a travelling teacher and film buff who's on a mission to put botheredness into classrooms everywhere.
Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders, as well as other education professionals.

Collaboration, Communications, and Critical Thinking: A STEM-Inspired Path across the Curriculum
Dennis Adams, Mary Hamm
This book makes a case for a STEM-based approach across the curriculum by highlighting the potential impacts of rapid societal change, newly emerging information technologies, and the increasing demand for a new generation of skillful and well-rounded citizens and workers. The book discusses how thinking skills, collaborative learning, communications-related information technologies, science and math, language and literacy, and arts education can be used as mutually reinforcing instruments in preparing young learners. The role of the family, teachers, and school administration in creating an environment where young students can stand a chance is also articulated. Above all, the book reiterates the value of pedagogically attuned teachers who are sensitive to the diversity of backgrounds and capabilities of students. They will oversee and guide the transformation of young learners who will be trained to trust their creativity, humanity, and critical thinking skills in navigating the 21st century world.
