Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central purpose of this book is to help teachers organise ideas through the use of graphic organisers. Over 35 such word-diagrams are: organised into a system to help select the right tool for the job; described for rapid understanding of their strengths; and explained for step-bystep construction. More than 50 teachers each have a double-page spread in which they reveal how they use them in their teaching -- across the full age range and span of subjects. A further section of the book demonstrates how to use these word diagrams most effectively by partnering them with other teaching strategies, such as retrieval practice, writing, speaking and listening, teacher explanations, advance organisers, scaffolding, remote learning and more. The pages are illustrated to the same quality and quantity in Oliver's previous book, Dual Coding with Teachers, its natural companion. A must-have textbook for every teacher that transcends contemporary ideological allegiances and fads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This outstanding book... deserves to be very widely read. I hope it makes a major contribution to how school biology is taught.' —Dr Michael J. Reiss, Professor of Science Education, University of London 'This is a book that all teachers, not just biology teachers should read.' —Ben Strathearn-Burrows, Head of Biology, Emanuel School What you'll find inside: —A vision for an integrated and meaningful biology education. —A framework for teaching for meaning-making, which cuts planning time. —Ways of creating a unified narrative across disparate topics. —A taxonomy of understanding that unlocks problem-solving with minimal workload. —Tried and tested examples from mixed-attainment biology classrooms. Introduction I've been motivated to discover what biology is to us as humans. What it means to understand biology, and how I could make it meaningful for my students. I've read as much as I could and reflected, I've discussed and listened, I've taught and observed. While it doesn't cover all aspects of biology education, this book is about sharing what I've learnt on my journey of synthesising and trialling ideas with my secondary-school mixed-attainment biology classes. 'Not only is this book likely to change how you teach biology but also how you perceive yourself within the living world.' —Dr Alex Sinclair, Institute of Education, St Mary's University, Twickenham Chapter 1: Meaningful biology relates principally to organisms: This sets the scene for the whole book. It brings together many threads to define what I see as most meaningful to secondary biology students. And therefore what we could do about it when designing our lessons & curricula and thinking about how students progress through their biology education. Planning for meaning-making has vastly enhanced interest and motivation to learn in my classroom. Chapters 2 & 3: Teaching for meaning using variation theory: Next I introduce a powerful—relatively unknown and often misunderstood—pedagogical theory. Variation theory. In these chapters I set out to show how useful it is—and easy to use—in the secondary biology classroom, with many examples. Chapter 4: How to integrate organisms, ecology & evolution: Now I pull together the previous chapters to present a new framework for teaching for meaning-making that cuts planning time & focuses on biology. 'An excellent text demanding we think not just about what we teach but also why and how.’ —Dr Paul Ganderton, Consultant and researcher Chapter 5: Concepts of the organism that unite a biology course: Here I discuss two concepts that I think can unify all the topics on the curriculum. 1. Seeing biology through thermodynamic systems lens and, 2. Seeing biology through an ecological-evolutionary lens via the concept of life strategies. I lay out the reasons why and discuss how I've introduced these ideas with students. Chapter 6: Teaching systems thinking to help students see interconnectedness: This chapter is dedicated to systems thinking. Firstly I show how stock and flow diagrams are very useful for the biology classroom and give examples. Next, I introduce a new taxonomy of understanding biological systems. Chapter 7: Establishing a thinking classroom: This chapter is focused on the whys and hows of embedding the taxonomy into my biology curricula. I give examples of how I use it and examples of my students answers from lower and upper secondary courses. Chapter 8: Navigating classroom and biological complexity: This chapter rounds up the book by considering the complexity of our subject and the classroom. ‘Biology Made Real comes with an education health warning—be prepared to have your beliefs challenged.' —Dr Alex Sinclair

Book excerpt: Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. When you think like a monk, you’ll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.
