School and the Magic of Children
Continuing Professional Development | Early Childhood Education | Primary Teacher Training
In this book, I share with you an alternative to the ‘school’ of today. A way of creating the conditions for you to go on an adventure with children. Education should not be a predetermined journey with map already drawn, with no ability to leave the path or pause. It should be a co-adventure.
This co-adventure can only take place when we take the first step into the unknown. This can feel daunting and can open us up to questions and uncertainty. However, once we do take that first step, an adventure lies ahead like no other – an adventure so magical that it can and will change everything. And the reason that this adventure is so special is that it will take you into the very soul of children and of yourself.
In these pages, I offer you an invitation. It comes from my head and heart to speak to yours. It is not didactic. It is a way to create the conditions for the magic of children to thrive.

This author offers key discussion concerning supporting children within education. He challenges dominant discourses making connections to the field of early years as a way to disrupt the taken for granted management of children. A thought provoking read.
A different approach which gives lots of food for thought and reflection. As an early years specialist I echo the book's sentiments. I love the focus on creativity in all its guises.
breadth of context means it will form part of the wider reading requirement
Fabulous book that gives students an idea of how to make each day in school "the best day ever"
