Product reviews for The Monkey-Proof Box

The Monkey-Proof Box is an important book that unpicks many of the misconceptions about curriculum design and warns of the dangers of the -˜ticking and clicking off' culture. It goes back to the essentials of the richness we want to be made available to all our pupils, and sets out how these can be accessed and assessed effectively - drawing on plenty of evidence from cognitive science to draw the threads together.

Crisp, cool and cutting on core curriculum principles, it's also very funny - and serves as a reminder to us all that we are more likely to bring people with us on our journey if we can laugh at ourselves.
