How to be a Transformative Principal
Being a principal requires you to serve many different people. The job can feel overwhelming. But it does not need to feel that way. Because many principals have already figured out what works and how to be great. This book is the culmination of over 400 interviews the author conducted on his Transformative Principal Podcast and these interviews hold the key to finding success as a principal – a principal that is not just trying to lead a school but making lasting change that will make their school better for their students. With insight from some of the greatest minds in education and some of the best principals that nobody has ever heard of, Jones distils the secrets to success into smal...
SchoolX: How principals can design a transformative school experience for students, teachers, parents – and themselves
How can we transform the school experience for all stakeholders? Jethro Jones has the answer: design thinking. SchoolX shows principals how to become designers, not just managers or leaders. It introduces readers to the design-thinking process, an iterative and innovative way to approach the challenges the school leader faces. Drawing on the wisdom of the dozens of leaders he has interviewed for his Transformative Principal podcast, Jones shows principals how to put themselves in the shoes of the people in their school communities, using that empathy to drive radical change. But, crucially, Jones argues that it is only once leaders improve their own experience that they can transform the experiences of others.
The Deeds of Dr Deadcert
When American journalist Jethro Jones arrives in the seaside resort of Greenyard he finds in Dr Dysert a man of charming manners and great professional skill, dedicated to the care of his elderly patients - a man, moreover, who has risen above a series of private misfortunes. But what is it that the doctor, so modest a man, sees when he gazes at himself for so long in the mirror? And why is Jethro himself so interested in the doctor's little foibles - and in his matrimonial affairs?
Keeping the faith
In the 1970s, Northern Soul held a pivotal position in British youth culture. Originating in the English North and Midlands in the late-1960s, by the mid-1970s it was attracting thousands of enthusiasts across the country. This book is a social history of Northern Soul, examining the origins and development of this music scene, its clubs, publications and practices.

Young Soul Rebels
The Ultimate History of Northern Soul. Young Soul Rebels is the intimate story of Britain's most fascinating underground music scene – northern soul. Stuart Cosgrove has been a well-known collector on the scene for decades, and here he takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey to the heart of this secret society: the iconic clubs – The Twisted Wheel, The Torch, Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca, the infamous bootleggers, and the DJs and crate-digging collectors who voyaged to America to unearth rare sounds. The book sweeps across fifty years of social and cultural history, taking in the rise of amphetamine culture, the brutal policing of the youth scene, the north–south divide, the rise of Thatcherism and the miners' strike, and concludes with a picture of northern soul today: as popular now as it was in its 1970s heyday.
