Product reviews for My School Improvement Doodle Book

'If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine the power of three pictures at a time,' claims the publisher of My School Improvement Doodle Book. Which is exactly what former graphic designer turned teacher and assistant head Ben Keeling has tried to do. This is a difficult book to traditionally review through words, given the nature of the fantastic images it contains, but it is thought-provoking whilst simple, and combines an expert knowledge of schools and learning, an enviable talent for graphic design and a keen sense of irony and humour. The book uses three simple 'doodles' per page, each on a separate sticky note, to highlight key issues that all teachers (whatever their role or level of experience) will recognise. Simple yet contagious, it rewrites the rules when it comes to the literature of school improvement and is certainly not boring. Whilst this book could (and perhaps should) be on the desk of every school leader and teacher, it would also create quite a stir, debate and stimulus in any staffroom if it were 'casually' left around at break time. An excellent coffee table book which could inspire.
