Reading List

Subjects Matter

This is currently the book we are focussing on in our staff Book Club. This book is packed with really useful strategies to approaching texts, regardless of their subject matter! Well worth a read.

Work that Matters

Written by Alec Patton and published by the Innovation Unit, this is a brilliant teacher’s guide to Project Based Learning and how to do it well.

An Ethic of Excellence

Ron Berger’s book, An Ethic of Excellence is for me, the most important book on education I’ve ever read. It won’t take you long to read and it will probably change your life, or at least your teaching practice!

EL Reading List

A very comprehensive reading list on EL’s website…

Unboxed

Unboxed is a journal of adult learning in schools, co-ordinated by HTH.

You can read all the articles online, or buy the physical book

Articles can be submitted by anyone and are peer reviewed and critiqued.

Martin Said and Darren Mead have had articles published, and here’s a great insight into the professional critique process.
