I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to announce the launch of my new book 'The Joy of Not KnowingTM', recently published by Routledge. It feels very exciting to have got to this stage and to be able to share with you all, all the things that I have seen to make a huge difference to children's enthusiasm for learning and so importantly at this time to their emotional well-being by being able to embrace uncertainty in learning and in our world.
The philosophy that underpins this theoretical and practical guide is founded on creating a values-led learning-to-learn culture in the classroom and throughout all aspects of school life that equips children, students and adults with all the skills, tools and dispositions that enables them to thrive and to feel 'comfortable with being intellectually uncomfortable'.
If you are interested in receiving a personalised signed copy I would be delighted to offer you a 20% new book discount, just fill in the contact form on this website and wait for it arrive in the post the next day!
