Product reviews for My School Improvement Doodle Book

Anyone championing reflection and creativity quickly gets my attention. In the delightfully stimulating My School Improvement Doodle Book, talented author, artist and teacher Ben Keeling offers us a great way to read, think and reflect creatively! It is refreshing to see such an engaging approach to thinking about school development.
With the inventive post-its that Ben has developed, it is possible to structure a process of reflection about school improvement without the restraining effects of more systematised approaches. The post-its can be analysed, interpreted, sorted, organised, categorised, added to, discussed, debated, and even re-drawn! This book is not wordy, it is very clever. It is packed with ideas concisely gathered together in illustrations (doodles) and captions. The thoughtfully selected stimuli quickly prompt the reader to connect ideas together and formulate inquiring questions.
I can see how this book will work for an individual reader or as a great tool for getting groups of colleagues to share their thoughts and develop their ideas about school improvement. This is great resource and one I whole-heartedly recommend school managers keep to hand for reference and inspiration.
