Feedback: Strategies to support teacher workload and improve pupil progress
Strategies, techniques and ideas come and go in education, but feedback will always be an important aspect of effective teaching, learning and assessment. Feedback should be helpful and actionable, and pupils must embrace it, but the reality is that this doesn't always happen. Pupils receive feedback on a daily basis, from their teachers and peers, so how can we make sure it helps rather than hinders learning? This book aims to answer that key question and provide a wide range of practical examples for the classroom. Feedback: strategies to support teacher workload and improve pupil progress, the latest book by bestselling author Kate Jones, explores a variety of evidence-informed and workload-friendly feedback strategies. Jones examines the ingredients of effective feedback, shows what actionable feedback looks like in practice, explores verbal feedback approaches, advises on peer and self-assessment, and on harnessing technology to support teacher workload. Fascinating case studies reveal how classroom teachers and school leaders across primary and secondary are implementing feedback in their settings.

Rape Crisis
"Rape crisis centres have provided the most effective and valued source of support for survivors of rape in Britain ever since the centres were developed as part of the women's movement of the 1970s. Yet now, at the same time as Britain is failing survivors of rape in the courts, there is also a threat to the work delivered through the centres ... This book documents the work and story of rape crisis in England and Wales, drawing comparisons with similar centres and networks in Scotland and Ireland. It provides [the reader] with a flavour of the original rape crisis work, and presents practical ideas for ways forward."--Book jacket.
