Product Information

The content is applicable for primary and secondary and, while the premise of the book focuses on the need for all adults to be -˜on the same page' there are pieces of advice that any teacher can pick up and use. Now staff are reading it and we've based training and practice around what we truly believe to be the way forward. He is equally at home ‘around the table’ with primary and secondary senior leadership teams, supporting them to link the big strategic messages to everyday practice in classrooms and beyond. Through his writing, Paul brings a refreshing approach to the issues facing educators today with a mixture of hard-hitting questioning that will get you squirming about some of your own practice combined with fantastic, practical solutions that can be rolled out with ease for the benefit of all. I firmly believe that almost nothing in education is an exact science: It is seemingly impossible to isolate and explore the effects of any single variable whilst simultaneously controlling others.

I credit the transformation Thistley Hough with our drive to re-establish the ethos and culture of the school. When the Adults Change, everything change is beautifully written - engaging, humorous and so full of practical ideas it's almost impossible not to stick a post-it on or highlight every page. This was interesting for me, as a teacher who used to give out house points and merits with no real thought.Our school has always been rated as outstanding for behaviour but there have been pockets of children with persistent poor behaviour, and the children have always behaved better for teachers than for support staff. The course focuses on the core components of change management from strategic planning through to practical implementation, system upgrades and internal communications. One relatively inexpensive intervention is changing our school for the better: When the Adults Change, Everything Changesby Paul Dix has been the driving force behind us getting to grips with a consistent school approach to behaviour.
