Michele Elliott, author of the Stop Bullying Pocketbook
Use unexpected available time, such as when people are late for appointments, by creating a weekly 'transition time file'. Put into it tasks you can do in short bursts for that week. Carry it with you so you never lose a moment!
Will Thomas, author of the Managing Workload Pocketbook
Poor work-life balance can have short-and-long term effects on our health, relationships and effectiveness. Here’s a simple prescription for thinking about making positive changes: R.E.S.T
R = refuel – eat and drink healthily for maximum performance, E = exercise, S = stop - Take a few minutes of time in total peace and quiet each day and T = time to reflect, to review, energise and plan.
Will Thomas, author of the Managing Workload Pocketbook
When visions are shared and built up within a team they are powerful motivators. When teams all buy into the same dream amazing things can happen.
Brin Best & Will Thomas, authors of the Head of Department's Pocketbook

Dr Barry Hymer, author of the Gifted & Talented Pocketbook
Praise is a double-edged sword. Handle it with care.
Dr Barry Hymer, author of the Gifted & Talented Pocketbook
Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.
John Dewey
A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It's important to maintain emotional balance in busy and fast-moving classrooms.
Peter Hook & Andy Vass, authors of the Behaviour Management Pocketbook
Good manners cost nothing and are the social 'glue' that, day-to-day, forms cohesive groups.
Peter Hook & Andy Vass, authors of the Behaviour Management Pocketbook
There is a basic law of human relationships that says, ' If you want to receive something it is better to give it first.' This principle applies at all levels in your interactions with children. If you show respect towards your children you are much more likely to be treated with respect yourself.
Peter Hook & Andy Vass, authors of the Behaviour Management Pocketbook
