The Independent Thinking Series
Edited by Ian Gilbert, the Independent Thinking Series is a unique collection of books that allows our Associates to put into print the insights and innovations they share in their INSET and conference addresses.
This is what one teacher recently had to say about them:
'I’ve just bought four books in the Little Book Series and they are fabulous. I’m going to use these ideas with my adult literacy groups and my 'Choices' group. This is a group of young people who are “disaffected”, have been kicked out for bad behaviour, attitude and other things. They love learning but in a way where they are respected as individual adults, which is what they are learning to be. These books are brilliant. Can’t think why I didn’t find them earlier.'
What more can we say...?
