      „Každý se může zlepšit. Téměř z každého může být dobrý učitel, pokud absolvuje náležitou průpravu. Musí mu však být poskytnuta.“ Tom Bennett (od roku 2015 poradce britské vlády pro oblast chování žáků) napsal knihu, jejíž postupy mohou aplikovat učitelé a učitelky z celého světa. Popisuje v ní bez příkras vše z vlastnípraxe, kdy si ho na začátku učitelské kariéry žáci předhazovali jako rituální oběť, až došel k prostému, ale zásadnímu závěru, že není chyba v něm, ale něco je systémově špatně: nikdo mu nevysvětlil, jak pracovat s chováním žáků ve třídě. A přitom je možné se tomuto ztracenému umění managementu chování naučit. Bennett čtenáře na téměř 400 stranách provede tím zásadním, co je možné se o behaviorálním managementu dozvědět. Nezaměřuje se jen na modelové příklady ze školní praxe – i když ty tvoří obzvlášť zábavnou (i děsivou) část textu – ale kniha vychází z odborných zdrojů. Jednotlivé kapitoly se zabývají například budováním kultury třídy, vytvářením rutin, které umožňují učitelům i žákům soustředit se lépe na výuku, celý oddíl je věnovaný poskytování zpětné vazby k chování žáků. Pomůže vám vybudovat základní stavební kameny každé efektivní třídy a školy.

      The Bible is arguably the greatest masterpiece of literature ever produced. But what makes it great? Who decides whether it is great, accurate, or valid? Is one opinion or interpretation better than another? These are questions that are best left to the experts... right? Aging Gracelessly is the culmination of an 18-month study by the author to read the Bible, analyzing it from the perspective of a reluctant agnostic... and hopefully find in it a much anticipated inner peace. It is a genuine attempt to investigate the "Good Book" without the bias and the influence of others.

      ‘Tom Bennett is the voice of the modern teacher.’ - Stephen Drew , Senior Vice-Principal, Passmores Academy, UK, featured on Channel 4’s Educating Essex Do the findings from educational science ever really improve the day-to-day practice of classroom teachers? Education is awash with theories about how pupils best learn and teachers best teach, most often propped up with the inevitable research that ‘proves’ the case in point. But what can teachers do to find the proof within the pudding, and how can this actually help them on wet Wednesday afternoon?. Drawing from a wide range of recent and popular education theories and strategies, Tom Bennett highlights how much of what we think we know in schools hasn’t been ‘proven’ in any meaningful sense at all. He inspires teachers to decide for themselves what good and bad education really is, empowering them as professionals and raising their confidence in the classroom and the staffroom alike. Readers are encouraged to question and reflect on issues such Controversial, erudite and yet unremittingly entertaining, Tom includes practical suggestions for the classroom throughout. This book will be an ally to every teacher who’s been handed an instruction on a platter and been told, ‘the research proves it.’
