For mentors, the book is impeccably researched, guided by firm principles, and aligns with the current guidance. Like an Uber Bossman with an aux cable, it gets a five star from me. Read Samuel's full review here.

Although Enser™s book is not about pedagogy per se “ unlike Making Every Geography Lesson Count “ he nevertheless talks about ˜a transformative journey through the subject we love™, noting that geography should imbue pupils with Geocapabilities such as being able to debate, go beyond the limits of personal experience, and discover new ways of thinking.

In After the Adults Change: Achievable behaviour nirvana, Paul Dix explains how teachers and school leaders can move beyond the behaviour management revolution and maintain a school culture rooted in relational practice. Find out more here.


Maureen McKenna, Executive Director of Education, Glasgow City Council:


It is too easy for adults to go straight to blame children “ what I love about Paul™s writing is that, in both this book and his previous one, he keeps the focus on what adults need to do in order to change children™s behaviours. Achieving change is not rocket science but it does take diligence and doing the right thing relentlessly, and in After the Adults Change Paul successfully breaks it down into manageable chunks. The book is also packed full of great examples of good practice, offering something for everyone.

This book is a must-read for all who work with children and young people.

Mark Enser, Head of Geography and Research Lead, Heathfield Community College, and author of Teach Like Nobody™s Watching and Powerful Geography:

I adore A School Built on Ethos for many reasons. It is wonderful to read about school leadership from someone who clearly loves their job, their school and their students. And as well as giving many practical points on school leadership, James also sets out a clear case that a school is more than a building, a timetable and a budget; it is a community and one that needs an ethos to bring people together and give them a common purpose.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

In Making Kids Cleverer, David Didau reignites the nature vs. nurture debate around intelligence and offers research-informed guidance on how teachers can help their students acquire a robust store of knowledge and skills that is both powerful and useful.
