Katy Granville-Chapman & Emmie Bidston: Meet the authors
06 May 2021
The book provides a model of leadership, based on thorough research, that is memorable and practical: effective leaders know, love and inspire their people!

The book also provides practical examples and challenges to help you improve your leadership. We have been testing this leadership model with businesses, universities, students and teenagers across multiple countries and it seems to resonate in all these sectors and across age groups. So, we are hopeful it can help change the narrative around leadership from the ˜hero leader model™ to one where leadership is all about enabling other people to flourish.

Teaching Is My Sport with Samuel Elliott
06 May 2021
Samuel Elliott has been a classroom teacher since 2016. Having grown up, lived in and taught in deprived areas, Samuel possesses key insights into misbehaviour that many teachers lack. These experiences informed his approaches in his trainee and NQT years, which, combined with his research into behaviour psychology, have since given rise to a pedagogy that borrows from both traditional and progressive philosophies.

Listen to the episode here.

In ASBO Teacher Samuel offers no-nonsense principles hewn from the chalkface of the modern British classroom: ideas and approaches that have worked for the author in the most challenging settings and with the most testing pupils. He also provides a set of tips, tricks, and heuristics (rules of thumb) that he has gleaned from his ASBO apprenticeship, his close reading of contemporary educational research, and his first four years of teaching.
