Chartered College of Teaching

Another summer reading recommendation! 📚

You made submissions of your top reading recommendations over the summer term and we will be sharing them over the next few weeks. While we want to encourage everyone to take a proper break from work, we also want to support those of you who would like to delve deeper into education topics.

The fifth of our summer reading recommendations is 'Reading Lessons: The Books We Read at School, the Conversations They Spark and Why They Matter' by Carol Atherton.

What our member said about this book: "So informative, relatable and interesting. The discussions of these seminal texts and their impacts and links to current issues really inspired me as I was about to start my PGCE English journey. A very diverse selection of texts discussed, and an inclusive outlook, which as an LGBTQ+ person I always appreciate. Atherton was also lovely when I spoke to her, and very encouraging."

In this session, Katy Chedzey will be joined by Nicola Arkinstall who will introduce the NIoT Evidence Portal, a free resource that brings together research and professional insight to support more informed decision-making about professional learning. The Portal is designed not to provide simple answers, but to support you as educators to interpret evidence critically and apply it thoughtfully in practice.

The session will include a deeper exploration of the Inclusive Professional Learning strand. Drawing on international research, this strand considers how professional learning can be designed to support you to engage meaningfully as teachers, develop your practice, and experience a sense of belonging and agency.
