Small but mighty, this punchy and compelling guide is the perfect way to reframe your curriculum thinking, reboot your love for the subject, take charge and challenge yourself professionally.

I love Jo’s style – personal, including information and anecdotes which show compassion and personality as well as obvious expertise and experience. I like that the tasks are often based on modelled content, often linked to reflections based on the task thinking – it means that readers are supported with examples but then given guidance on how to apply their developing thinking to their own context… Like its companion book, Pedagogy with Heart, this feels supportive and informative, and broad enough with tasks and reflection prompts to support teachers in all contexts to engage and feel empowered to make changes to their curriculum and teaching.
