I have also written case studies for Michael Chiles book The Craft of Assessment, Jamie Thom's Quiet Teaching and Mark Enser's Teaching Like Nobody's Watching. I am currently working on a project around teacher development. Commentating on what motivated her to write the book with her husband, Zoe says: "I had been a long time follower of Tom Sherrington and had seen him discuss a range of topics at ResearchEd events as well as having read his books, so I was obviously intrigued when he approached me to see if we would be interested in writing a book for his ‘In Action’ series. I had been aware of Generative Learning for a few years and used some of the strategies in my own classroom, but it was only as I began to delve into the research behind the activities that I began to realise how powerful it could be. Of course, I was then keen to tell Tom we would be delighted to write the book." Jenny Webb I am a teacher, leader, author, blogger and speaker. I am currently Assistant Principal: Teaching, Learning and Staff Development at Co-op Academy Leeds, and have worked at a number of other schools in West Yorkshire, as a Head of English, an AST and a Lead Practitioner.

Curriculum reform is now at the forefront of every school agenda; in spite of this, there is a danger that its message may become lost in translation. When curricular change is poorly implemented, teachers experience a complete detachment from their sense of purpose, autonomy, and capacity to become curriculum designers of the future. Employing an astute blend of theory and practice, Claire Hill and Kat Howard offer a methodical approach to designing and delivering a curriculum, to ensure that all feel part of a collective curricular journey. At a time when work on the curriculum can be politicised, monetised and overcomplicated, Symbiosis: The Curriculum and the Classroom provides a series of practical strategies for curriculum designers at every level, in order to not only keep and develop the skilled and professional teachers desperately needed in schools, but also to provide a world-class curriculum to students.

Feedback The Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante (rec’d by Michelle) Questions 1. Hello! My daughter is 10 and in the 5th grade. She has recently discovered all the Marvel movies and has watched them over and over. Some of the movies are a little…intense…but the genie is well out of the bottle, so . (I can’t say I’m too sad, because I love them also.) She also loves the TV show Agents of SHIELD. She recently asked me if she could read some of the Marvel graphic novels/comics. I haven’t read a lot myself—some Thor, Vision, and Black Panther, all of which I enjoyed very much. I handed her my Black Panther (Ta-Nehisi Coates), but she had trouble understanding it. The Thor and Vision I have read are graphic in the sex and violence department, which I’m not super crazy about her reading. So… Are there any Marvel graphic novels appropriate for her age group? And before you rec Ms Marvel, she really wants to read about these MCU characters she has fallen in love with. A little about her: She’s a prolific reader of fantasy, with particular loves for Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She is reading The List, the Unwanteds series, and the School of Good and Evil series right now (and she’s always re-reading Harry Potter!). Anything you can recommend would be awesome! Thanks! -Brooke 2. My name is Candice, & my partner and I are driving from San Antonio, TX to Colorado Springs, CO for our first vacation. We would like to listen to an audiobook or two along the way; however, we would like something that we can both enjoy. Extra points for a book set in Colorado or with a Road tripping theme, though it is not required. We are both POCs, so an author that reflects that would be ideal. Trigger warnings include any form of sexual assault/abuse. To help: He’s an avid D&D player, and his reading likes include “Gritty Fantasy, Speculative Sci-Fi, & Witty Comedy”. His favorite authors are Brandon Sanderson, Issac Asimov, William Gibson, & Douglas Adams. He also really enjoyed the book Captain Freedom. My all-time favorite series is the Wayward Children Novellas by Seanan McGuire (Beneath the Sugar Sky was my Fav) & the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers is a close follow-up. I am currently reading How Long ‘til Black Future Month by N.K. Jemisin, and cannot get enough of it. Other Science Fiction & Fantasy books of note for me are Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, Circe by Madeline Miller, Roses and Rot by Kat Howard, & The Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel. I also really love atmospheric thrillers & horror novels (the creepier the better). And if it helps, we both loved the Netflix show Russian Doll. Thank you so much for your book recommendation assistance! -Candice 3. I am currently in a reading drought. I am hoping that you will help me find a new series to enjoy. I have enjoyed Still Alice (Lisa Genova), an ember in the ashes (sabba tahir), snow child (eowyn ivey), the giver (Louis Lowry) and the Tattooist Of auschwitz (heather morris). Please help me find something similar. The snow child and the giver are my two all time favorite books. Open to anything minus non-fiction Thank you. -Kelsey 4. I am traveling to West Virginia in July for two reasons: 1. To visit my husbands family and 2. To do research for a short story that I’m writing about a haunted coal mine. For both these reasons, I want to learn a lot more about West Virginian culture, life, history, etc. I have already read Storming Heaven by Denise Giardina and The Stories of Breece D’J Pancake by Breece D’J Pancake and enjoyed both very much. I am not super picky, especially for something like this where I’m just trying to absorb as much knowledge about the history, culture, and how it shaped the lives of those in the region. I look forward to your recommendations — thanks! -Daniela 5. Hi all, I’m looking for some read-alikes for my sister and me. For my sister, I’m looking for a good book to get her as a graduation present. Her all-time favorite book is Girl Reading by Katie Ward, and I’ve heard her complain on multiple occasions that she can’t find anything else quite like it—which I would love to change! She generally tends towards magical realism, feminist literature, and something-is-slightly-off type plots (like in Never Let You Go by Kazuo Ishiguro). For me, I have a serious book hangover from Isabel Allende’s Island Beneath the Sea. I originally picked it up because it deals with the Haitian Revolution (I lived in Haiti for a year) but was just blown away by the style and mood of it; I’ve never so wanted to describe a book as sensual! I liked how the time moved so fluidly and the view points shifted subtlety but distinctly and also smaller details, such as the masterful way that Allende handled the continued rape of the main character, a slave woman, both as off-hand in the way that it would be treated at the time and yet as absolutely brutal and despicable. It doesn’t have to be set in the same era/place or deal with the same themes of slavery, etc; I just want something to make me Feel like this book did! THANK YOU, -C 6. Hello ! I Need some audiobooks recommendations. Something I can easily follow while doing my housework after baby goes to bed. One audiobook I LOVED was “The Year of Yes” I Would really like something non fiction again. Maybe some humour or a memoir but Nothing too sad please. Thanks -Stef 7. Hello wonderful people, I’m trying to deal with lots of the things right now. My wife is traveling a lot and I miss her. So I’m escaping into the world of monsters. Specifically 1890s-1920s monster hunter goodness. I recently read S.A. Sidor’s fury from the tomb and the Beast of Nightfell Hall as well as the 4 books in Rick Yancey’s Monstrumolgist series and am looking for more in that vein. I love the arcane vocabulary in those books as well as the sense of the exoticism of travel in the days before tv/ the internet. I also ADORE the relationship between Will Henry and Pellinore in the Monstrumologist. It’s so tortured and full of love and yet so horrible and that poor kid. Monsters are great but what I really need is a sense of the mysterious as well as a horrible sociopathic nihilist narrator voice combined with the inevitable longing for love and human connection.

Konigsburg, rec’d by Madeleine The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead, rec’d by Madeleine Questions 1. Dear Ladies of the Bookish Bend, I need your help finding a romance/erotica book that isn’t going to send me into fits of rage. I used to read more in the late aughts, but things got out of hand with the tropey, poorly researched, non-representative crap that was being churned out. So I’ve actively avoided the genre(s) for some time. Below is a list of things that are acceptable (YES) and a list of things that send me into rage fits (NO). YES * Yes, adults. Not YA, not New Adult (whatever these mean these days), but Adult. Like, give me some thirty or forty year olds living their best lives (or not). * Yes, chemistry then sex and not the other way around. * Yes, sex that is described and not told. * Yes, written by a WOC. * Yes, would love a black Woman as the romantic female lead. And interracial romance is a huge plus. NO * No love triangles. The trope is overdone & unimaginative. Not to mention, annoying. I don’t read romance or erotica to hate all the characters at the end. * No instant sex then trying to make a nonsensical relationship work to keep having sex. * No ridiculous miscommunications leading to silly drama to fill pages rather than a well-developed plot. * No “deeply troubled” for whatever reason man that has to be saved by a woman in any capacity. So, no women being martyrs for dudes. There is enough of that IRL. Unpopular opinion, I don’t like The Wedding Date for reasons I’m open to discussing at some other time. I love mysteries, books about books, books about food/restaurants, books set in England or France. I’d prefer there be no children involved, but it’s not a hard limit. Having done my own research, I know it will be difficult to hit all these criteria, but I have faith your collective book knowledge can find me something that won’t make me want to toss the book at the wall! I have linked my Goodreads as well. Thank you for your time, Neurotic About Erotica 2. I used to love reading trilogies and series when I was a kid and I miss the feeling of finishing a book and knowing that there’s more to discover. However, most adult trilogies and series seem to be published in genres I don’t particularly enjoy: fantasy, romance and science fiction. Can you recommend a series or trilogy for adults in another genre? I do enjoy historical fiction and read mostly literary fiction. Some crime or mystery elements are fine, but ideally shouldn’t be the focal point. FYI, I tried Old Filth and Sea of Poppies and didn’t enjoy either of them. The Gilead series is on my list already, as is the ‘A Rising Man’ series thanks to a BR recommendation. Thanks so much in advance! Cat 3. Hi ladies, I’m writing with a recommendation request for my wife. She was a voracious reader growing up, but for a variety of reasons has become a reluctant reader now in her late 20s and struggles to focus long enough to really get into a book. I’m not trying to change her, but I often hear her talking about ideas she would be interested to explore more deeply and I think, “there’s a book for that!” We recently got into comics. Her current favorite titles are Lumberjanes and Doctor Aphra. She’s a big fan of Game of Thrones, Star Wars, House of Cards, Jessica Jones, Timeless, and Dan Brown books. So I think something with some history, political intrigue, and a pinch of darkness would be up her alley. LGBT representation is a plus. Please no dragons if you make a high fantasy pick. Many thanks! Hope 4. Books similar to the Raven Cycle -Deaira 5. Hi Amanda and Jenn! I recently started your podcast because one of my friends from my book club recommended it (and wow is running on the treadmill way more joyful now!). Work has been very emotionally taxing the last year, and I have been setting more and more time aside for reading. I have found myself falling in love with books with tasty language, most recently A Gentleman in Moscow (and Rules of Civility), The Secret History, and Circe (and Song of Achilles, which I know was mentioned in your last podcast). All seem to live in times almost apart from our own. I would love a recommendation for a book that offers a similar escape with a setting that lives in its own time/space, but mostly with the lyrical detail of A Gentleman in Moscow. Thank you again for your work! -Brittany 6. Hello! (Yes, this is a second request — I can’t believe this one didn’t occur to me) I’m heading home to Malaysia for a VERY short visit in a few months (before fleeing to Europe, per my other request). It’s my first time back in five years, and may or may not involve seeing family for the first time in longer than that (there’s a complicated family situation there). I’m pretty anxious about this visit, both because of the complicated family situation and because (sigh) I have none of the things that my culture requires of a good Malay woman: I’m unmarried, there’s currently no boyfriend on the scene, there will be no babies from me, I’m not religious, and no, I’m not moving back home. Ever. I’m dreading all the questions and the (possibly imaginary) disapproval, basically. Can you recommend a book that might help prepare me for this trip, or at least help me tackle all these anxieties, both imagined and real? Thank you so much! -Rae 7. Hi! I have really gotten into WWI and WWI historical fiction, which is great but also heavy. I would love some good audio books that will make me laugh out loud. I love all kinds of humor but sarcasm and dry humor are my favorites. I’ve listened to heartburn and a gentleman’s guide to vice and virtue. I also love crazy rich Asians and Jen Hatmaker. I prefer fiction but will try nonfiction. I rent audio books from my library’s app so please no new releases. Including my goodreads link. Thank you so much! -Jessica Books Discussed The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy (#1 is All the Pretty Horses) Master & Commander (Aubrey-Maturin #1) by Patrick O’Brian Monstress by Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda (tw: torture, violence, war) Zero Sum Game by SL Huang When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore Roses and Rot by Kat Howard (tw: child abuse) Milkman by Anna Burns The Bird King by G.

Kat Howard is a textile and book artist whose work explores how the female body has been viewed over time. In this deeply personal conversation, she describes how learning about the historical persecution of witches under patriarchy has made her feel less alone when navigating her own traumatic experiences, and how making art has been a path to selfhood, healing, and community. We talk about the connectivity of trauma survivors throughout time, why she’s taken the path of transparency, and how the stories of women from 500 years ago are more relevant today than ever.

In this episode, we discuss All the Truth That's In Me by Julie Berry. We talk about the nuances of young adult literature, the book's compelling parallels with the current #MeToo movement, what makes this novel's unusual structure so effective, and so much more. Book Description: Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember—even if he doesn’t know it—her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever.

Amanda and Jenn discuss naturey spec-fic, New England novels, escapist reads, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot's gift card giveaway and Book Riot Insiders. Questions 1. I have been listening to your podcast for a long time now and I absolutely love it! I have a request for you. I love Fantasy genre and Sci-Fi (maybe even some post-apocalyptic). My favourite books have been Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Sword of Truth and The Dresden Files. I am looking for something fresh to read in this genre, with a unique universe, new ideas and nice characters. I know it may sound a bit challenging but I would love to find something to read that is outside the mainstream Fantasy guidelines. Thank you and keep up the good work! --John 2. Hello! Thanks for all the work you put into your great podcast, my booklist has been growing exponentially every since I started following you! I am looking for book suggestions to help me further cope with and accept all the destruction and damage to the natural world that is rampant in human society. I love fiction but also appreciate non fiction. One of my favorite books is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer so anything like that would be appreciated. I'm also looking for comforting nature focused novels like those by Barbara Kingsolver, and thought provoking dystopia-style books where the natural world is a speculative character of its own like in Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach Trilogy. Any suggestions you have would be much appreciated! --Rhiannon 3. Looking for books by June 21. Hello, I'm headed to New England for 2 weeks in June. Would love some books to read while up there on vacation that are set in any of the New England States or about New England and its History. I do love books that give me all the feels and give me an emotional reaction. But I'm open to anything. I love literary fiction, historical fiction, women's lit and narrative non fiction. Some of my favorite books have been Unbroken by Laura Hildebrand, anything by Kristin Hannah, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, Trail of Broken Wings (the author escapes me ...but if you haven't go read it)., When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, and this oldy but Goody The Story of a Bad Boy by Thomas Aldridge (I'm pretty sure the character Sailor Sam is my all time literary character), Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Thanks --Shona 4. Hi! I just blazed through Circe and am about half way through Song of Achilles. I have discovered I have a love of Greek mythology retelling. What book / series can you recommend to help me dive into Greek mythology? I prefer longer books so please no short stories (unless it’s a big collection) or graphic novels. Thanks so much! --Jessica 5. Hello! Request date of early September for my cousin's birthday. My cousin is a trans-man currently going through the physical transition. Recently, while discussing books, he lamented the lack of representation he is able to find in books (and other media). When he is able to find it, the stories always end poorly for the character (suicide, violence/abuse, drugs, etc.). He has read a few memoirs, but would really love a novel. Do you know of any that have a trans-man as the main character and a happy ending? Own-voices would be amazing. Thanks! --April 6. Hi! I just joined the insiders and have been hooked on this podcast for months now. I read anything and have been known to choose books by the covers. Something I haven’t really found is a book that includes Foster Families. I don’t shy away from anything. I have been a foster mom for just over a year now, I have two step children and one foster baby right now. So, good and bad are welcome. I would like one of each if possible. I love listening to you, keep up the great work you both are doing! Thank you, --Sherri 7. Hello, lovely ladies! I am graduating THIS WEEK with a Masters in Social Work, and loved (almost) every moment of it, but am ready for some serious escape-from-reality reading now. Based on your podcast I listened to the audio version of Seanan McGuire’s Every Heart a Doorway and LOVED the unique complexity of worlds with differing levels of logic, nonsense, wickedness and virtue as well as the absolute normalization of the whole queer spectrum, dead bodies, and that indescribable feeling of missing a place so badly you can’t go on with your life. I’m utterly, embarrassingly new to the fantasy genre and would love more recs for stories that are dark but in that “it’ll never happen to me or the people I’ll be working with as a social worker” kind of way :).
