Product reviews for The Complete Learner’s Toolkit

Ian Loynd, Head Teacher, St Teilo's Church in Wales High School
The world is changing and, if we're to solve the problems facing our planet, schools must change too. The Complete Learner's Toolkit is the essential companion for teachers and school leaders who are ambitious about a better future for humanity. 

Getting good grades is no longer enough; metacognition, mindset and character are essential in developing a purposeful disposition to the world. The ideas set out in this book are infused with the shrewd wisdom born out of Jackie Beere's extensive school experience. Not only do the book's activities help teachers to foster essential and in-demand workplace skills in children, they also make them more confident, empathetic and creative citizens. Being creative means breaking the rules - and finding solutions to complex problems, such as catastrophic global climate change, pandemic control and extreme poverty and violence, requires expert problem solvers. 



The Complete Learner's Toolkit gives children the confidence to lead, the adaptability to learn and the values and generosity of spirit to make good choices and sensible decisions in life. This book is about no less than human flourishing and encourages every teacher and school leader to harness the enormous power of the next generation on a now-fragile planet and in an increasingly unequal world.
