The Practical Guide to Getting Subject Leaders to THRIVE!
The curriculum is the driving force for excellent teaching and learning in any school. Yet, in primary schools, the curriculum is often led by class teachers who have little or no time to give to this vital part of their role. Subject leaders have the potential to rapidly improve the way a curriculum is taught, but the challenges they face can seem insurmountable.
The Practical Guide to Getting Subject Leaders to THRIVE! tackles these issues head-on with a framework rooted in educational research. Sebastian Olway’s six-step THRIVE framework provides school leaders with a structure to support subject leaders and unlock their potential. The framework can also be used to guide an impactful series of professional development meetings, or to offer strategies, tips and resources for individual subject leaders.
Whether you’re a primary school headteacher, a senior leader, an experienced subject leader or brand new to the role, this book will help your school to THRIVE!

Three Magic Words: The Key to Power, Peace, and Plenty (An Eckhart Tolle Edition)
A reissue of a groundbreaking self-help classic, revised and updated for modern timesIn recent years, self-help concepts such as positive affirmation, creative visualization, and the Law of Attraction have become part of mainstream American culture, but these ideas are not new. In fact, they were beautifully articulated by U. S. Andersen in Three Magic Words back in 1954. This lost classic has inspired thousands of readers over the years, including bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, who believes that the time is right to reintroduce Three Magic Words to a new generation of readers.
Three Magic Words contains a simple but profound thesis: we can shape the outer world by shaping our inner thoughts. Instead of being controlled by circumstances, we can become architects of our reality by harnessing the power of consciousness itself. Throughout the book, Andersen helps readers reframe difficult situations and cultivate empowering thoughts. He also delves into related topics, including:
– Understanding the true relationship between mind and matter
– Freeing yourself from limiting beliefs
– Programming your thoughts for success
– Tapping the power of the subconscious mind
– Developing your innate intuitive abilitiesAbove all, Andersen leaves readers with a potentially life-changing insight: “There is only one mover in all creation and that mover is thought.”

Understanding Sikhism: A Guide for Teachers (Teaching Religions and Worldviews)
Sikhism is often the religion that teachers have the least confidence in teaching, despite being the fifth largest religion in the world, and being commonly regarded as one of the six main religions to be taught in schools.

It engages with Sikh beliefs and practices, and provides students and teachers with the confidence to address misconceptions and recognise the importance of beliefs in the lives of believers, in a way that will enable readers to go forward with confidence.Aspects of Sikhism explored include the concepts that form the central beliefs of Sikhism, and the expression of these beliefs in worship and daily life, and the ethics of Sikhs in the modern day. Each chapter includes authentic voices of believers today and provides opportunities for the reader to consider the concepts and how they can be respected and taught in the classroom.
