A #UKEdChat #BookReview - 40 Ways to Diversify the

A #UKEdChat #BookReview - 40 Ways to Diversify the History Curriculum: A practical handbook by Elena Stevens via @crownhousepub

Elena has created a much-needed, helpful and resourceful book to help teach a more #diverse history #curriculum for pupils aged 7+ (through to GCSE and A-Level).

Historically sensitive subject areas are dealt with directly, including chapters on #Empire and #Slavery, Migration, and Conflict.

Each chapter focuses on the relevant issues and how to teach within History. Each activity is introduced with a 'Suggested enquiry' question, accompanied by an 'Alternative enquiry' option.

Along with 'Key points' highlighted within each topic, Elena has carefully considered how best to teach the subjects with in-depth information and guidance for reference and further resources.

This is an important book for teachers focusing on the #History #curriculum, addressing topics that are often overlooked in #schools and #society as a whole.

A #UKEdChat #BookReview - The #Teacher Journal - B

A #UKEdChat #BookReview - The #Teacher Journal - By Naomi Barker via Bloomsbury Education
- This is a fantastic practical book for reflective teaching, with an incredible number of weekly reflection opportunities to allow bite-sized #CPD.
- Each weekly reflection guides the reader to consider different aspects of #teaching, encouraging weekly considerations of 'favourite student quotes', and 'highlight of the week'.
- The book is split into the six main half-terms of the academic year, with relevant and engaging reflection opportunities.
- Of particular note are the 12 'Think Pieces', which consider different aspects of the professional development framework for England #schools, encouraging further reflection, engagement and advancement in professional practice.
- This is more of an active #learning diary than a book and is a must for teachers at all stages in reflecting on their professional practice in a positive, progressive, and engaging way.

New #UKEdChat BookReview - How to Move & Learn: An #evidence-based guide to embedding physically active #learning in your #school

- An excellent approach for schools to take if they want to enhance physical activity to improve learning across different subjects.

- With many years of experience, the authors have pulled together approaches, #resources and ideas to build a culture and ethos in schools that will enhance #teaching and learning.

- In addition to providing resources and activities to implement embedding physically active learning in your school, the book also highlights key #research and evidence that support the approaches.

- Along with providing an audit and planning tool for #teachers, the book also provides a great series of links and references to help colleagues take the approach further.

With continued concerns about the health and fitness of young people, this book shows how schools can implement inclusive and physically active learning across a range of subjects.

New #UKEdChat #BookReview - I Can't Do #Maths!: Why children say it and how to change it: Why children say it and how to make a difference -

- For teachers who engage with teaching mathematics, this is a really useful book that shares five key 'dogmas' - helpful when thinking about mathematical development.

- The authors build on encouraging as many concrete learning opportunities as possible but on the understanding that a lot of mathematical learning is abstract, which will be challenging for some pupils.

- This is not a resource-heavy book, but in-depth case studies, inventive lesson ideas, and easy-to-digest theories are scattered throughout, making it a solid bedrock for teachers grappling with a #curriculum.

- Mathematics is a global language, so the ideas and inspiration within the book will be suited for learning situations anywhere, with real-world mathematical problems illustrated to help learners anchor their learning.

- This book is well-suited for experienced #teachers and newly qualified colleagues, being a fantastic professional development resource to help embed quality #teaching in #mathematics.

A #UKEdChat #BookReview - Representation Matters:

A #UKEdChat #BookReview - Representation Matters: Becoming an anti-racist educator by Aisha Thomas.
Review score = 9.5 / 10

- This is a book that every #educator should engage with, where the focus is on true #equality and representation.

- Aisha has gathered a wealth of stories, resources and strategies promoting an #anti-racist approach in every school.

- The book is split into three distinct sections (reflecting and reviewing; listening and decentring, and; creating an action plan), all asking key reflective questions to practitioners to help develop a tangible and realistic action plan that can be accepted and implemented.

- Aisha also explores important - and often overlooked - areas to support #youngpeople, including positive #rolemodels, how to talk to young people about race, and key areas of #teacher training. Also, an understanding of the use of language and considerations of cultures is given attention, helping develop #inclusive practice.

- This is a very important book, no matter where your #school is. The content applies to school leaders, experienced and new teachers, and those working with school #communities committed to #equality and #representation.
