The Decisive Element is not so much about sunny weather returning to our classrooms but more a convincing claim that it has never gone away.
Quite rightly too, as Gary, Mick and Chris demonstrate from their collective experience: they have taught so many lessons and led so many initiatives that every chapter, including those on motivation and leadership, echoes with authority and common sense. The authors also share and link back to classroom practice an impressive store of research and theory, but it's the warmth of the personal anecdotes that gives the book originality.
Teachers may well read The Decisive Element in one session, and will return to the classroom energised to spread more positive weather!
