In this all-encompassing book on teaching and learning, Independent Thinking Associate Jackie Beere draws on her many years’ experience as a teaching assistant, primary teacher and secondary head teacher to re-energise every teacher’s passion for their profession.

She champions both children and teachers as learners, and – together with expert advice on how to instil the habits of independent learning in all pupils – shares great practice that delivers outstanding outcomes for all educators.

Jackie encourages teachers to embrace challenge and change, and suggests ways in which they can provide a model for their pupils when it comes to developing independence and resilience. She also offers expert guidance on how teachers can build rapport with their students and cultivate with them a sense of co-ownership of their learning journey so that they work hard, value their learning and fulfil their potential.

Essential reading for all teachers and school leaders who wish to make an impact on the teaching and learning in their school.
