Leading Together: Teachers and Administrators Improving Student OutcomesJONATHAN ECKERTThis book is a tool for administrators and teachers to use together. Grounded in teacher leadership, work design, and leadership development literature, the author presents a model of leadership development. Examples from high schools as well as interviews from a Center for Teaching Quality leadership retreat breathe life into the model and offer next steps for both schools and districts. The design of the book asks administrators and teachers to work through the seven chapters together as co-investigators. This design is a large part of the solution as the work they will do builds the conditions in which strong leadership can flourish. Of all the leadership books on the market, this book has a unique perspective on leadership development defining leadership not by the individuals who hold supervisory titles, but the work that administrators and teachers do together to improve student outcomes.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHYTeaching with Tenderness: Toward an Embodied PracticeBECKY THOMPSONTeaching with Tenderness follows in the tradition of Bell Hooks’s Teaching to Transgress and Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, inviting us to draw upon contemplative practices (yoga, meditation, free writing, mindfulness, ritual) to keep our hearts open as we reckon with multiple injustices. Teaching with tenderness makes room for emotion, offer a witness for experiences people have buried, welcomes silence, breath and movement, and sees justice as key to our survival. It allows us to rethink our relationship to grading, office hours, desks, and faculty meetings, sees paradox as a constant companion, moves us beyond binaries; and praises self and community care.

Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform CollegeMARK CARNESIn Minds on Fire, Mark Carnes shows how role-immersion games channel students’ competitive (and sometimes mischievous) impulses into transformative learning experiences. His discussion is based on interviews with scores of students and faculty who have used a pedagogy called Reacting to the Past, which features month-long games set during the French revolution, Galileo’s trial, the partition of India, and dozens of other epochal moments in disciplines ranging from art history to the sciences. These games have spread to over three hundred campuses around the world, where many of their benefits defy expectations.

How College WorksDANIEL CHAMBLISS AND CHRISTOPHER TAKACSConstrained by shrinking budgets, can colleges do more to improve the quality of education? And can students get more out of college without paying higher tuition? The authors conclude that the limited resources of colleges and students need not diminish the undergraduate experience. How College Works reveals the surprisingly decisive role that personal relationships play in determining a student’s collegiate success, and puts forward a set of small, inexpensive interventions that yield substantial improvements in educational outcomes. For most students, college works best when it provides the daily motivation to learn, not just access to information. Improving higher education means focusing on the quality of a student’s relationships with mentors and classmates, for when students form the right bonds, they make the most of their education.

TEACHER RESOURCESNeuroscience for Teachers: Applying research evidence from brain scienceRICHARD CHURCHES, ELEANOR DOMMETT AND IAN DEVONSHIREBy surveying a wide range of evidence in specific areas such as metacognition, memory, mood and motivation, the teenage brain and how to cater for individual differences, Neuroscience for Teachers shares relevant, up-to-date information to provide a suitable bridge for teachers to transfer the untapped potential of neuroscientific findings into practical classroom approaches. The key issues, challenges and research are explained in clear language that doesn’t assume a prior level of knowledge on the topic that would otherwise make it inaccessible – therefore enabling more teachers to better comprehend the lessons from neuroscience – while the authors also take care to expose the ways in which ‘neuromyths’ can arise in education in order to help them avoid these pitfalls.
