Everything you need to create brilliant - and happy - young learners. Building on the success of Jackie's The Learner's Toolkit, this version aimed at younger children contains everything you need to create truly independent learners. Because there is much more to learning to learn than a set of techniques and tricks, this book helps create children who are confident and resilient in themselves and in their ability to learn and learn well. Written with more than half an eye on the SEAL framework (which may not be on the current government's list of priorities but is at the heart of all caring and successful primary schools), this book is more than a book. It is the definitive toolkit of lesson plans and teacher's notes complete with its own CD-ROM with everything the busy teacher needs to help all children become expert learners.

About the Author
Jackie Beere MBA OBE worked as a newspaper journalist before starting a career in teaching and school leadership. She was awarded the OBE in 2002 for developing innovative learning programmes. Since 2006 she has been offering training in the latest strategies for learning, developing emotionally intelligent leadership and growth mindsets. She is the author of several bestselling books on teaching, learning and coaching, as well as being a qualified Master Practitioner in NLP. Since establishing Independent Thinking 25 years ago, Ian Gilbert has made a name for himself across the world as a highly original writer, editor, speaker, practitioner and thinker and is someone who the IB World magazine has referred to as one of the world's leading educational visionaries.The author of several books, and the editor of many more, Ian is known by thousands of teachers and young people across the world for his award-winning Thunks books. Thunks grew out of Ian's work with Philosophy for Children (P4C), and are beguiling yet deceptively powerful little philosophical questions that he has created to make children's - as well as their teachers' - brains hurt.Ian's growing collection of bestselling books has a more serious side too, without ever losing sight of his trademark wit and straight-talking style. The Little Book of Bereavement for Schools, born from personal family experience, is finding a home in schools across the world, and The Working Class - a massive collaborative effort he instigated and edited - is making a genuine difference to the lives of young people from some of the poorest backgrounds.A unique writer and editor, there is no other voice like Ian Gilbert's in education today.
