Editorial Review | Confidence, independence and resilience are among the core dispositions that students not only bring into the classroom but, as this book demonstrates, can be taught. Here's how.- John Hattie, Professor and Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute, University of Melbourne, Australia. Character education has proved a very tricky issue for schools. It's hard to define and even harder to turn into something of value in the classroom; even the terminology is unhelpful. In this incredibly valuable book Matt Lloyd-Rose manages to provide a clear and readable synthesis of the current state of research and a set of practical recommendations that teachers can use day to day. A must read for anyone working in schools.- Sam Freedman, Executive Director for Participant Impact and Delivery at TeachFirst. Matt is an insightful thinker and he has produced an insightful book. He has been working on character since before it was fashionable and there is much to take from the book for teachers and school leaders.- Ed Vainker, Principal Reach Academy Feltham |
