New Free Cartoons
We know you like our free cartoon gallery - it's one of your favourite pages on this website. (See 'free resources' on the orange menu bar.) It's a while since we added to our collection so we've fixed that by uploading an additional 14 cartoons. We hope you'll enjoy them and that you'll find a variety of uses for them in your teaching and/or training.
In the Pipeline
Look out in September for a new Pocketbook looking at gender and education. The Boys, Girls & Learning Pocketbook is written by Ian Smith, author of Assessment & Learning. It contains ‘practical pointers for teaching and motivating learners by understanding and exploiting differences in how boys and girls think, feel and understand’. You can pre-order Boys, Girls & Learning by emailing sales@teacherspocketbooks.co.uk or calling us on 01962 735573.
