Second Chance at First Love
Can their second chance at love succeed? Eva Mathers is a successful woman, except for when it comes to matters of the heart. When she returns home to Yorkshire as a pending divorcee, she realises her childhood friend and first love Damon Evans is also newly single. It's a pity he's never noticed her romantically and had no idea that she was in love with him at school. But at least they can support each other as friends again. Damon is attempting to adjust to life sharing the kids with his ex. His reconnection with Eva is strong, but she was always too good for him and made her indifference clear after they drifted apart during their younger years. In any case, she still seems to be hung up on her charismatic ex-husband. Eva is hiding things from Damon, secrets from her past. He wants to be there for her, so why can't she let him in? Eva is dealing with trauma, but she won't confide in her loved ones. Can Damon help her break down her walls before it's too late and they miss their second chance at first love?

But inste...
Full on Learning
The start point is your end-point: the learner. What kind of learner do you want to develop? What are the characteristics of an effective learner and how can we teach to support the development of these characteristics? If future employers are looking for people who can solve problems, think creatively and be innovative, what can we do, as part of our current curriculum provision to enable students to 'deliberately' practise this skill? If being intelligent is not, in fact, measured by your IQ score, and has far more to do with the ability to apply higher order thinking to unfamiliar contexts and create new solutions to existing problems, then what learning challenges can we design for Year 9 on a sunny Wednesday afternoon that will allow them to develop the emotional and intellectual resilience required to be able to do this? Full On Learning offers a range of tried & tested practical suggestions and ideas to construct the ideal conditions for the characteristics of effective learners to flourish. Shortlisted for the Education Resources Awards 2013, Secondary Resource - non ICT category and Educational Book Award category.

Summary of Zoe Chance's Influence Is Your Superpower
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The idea of influence has been corrupted by tacky, greedy people using tacky, greedy tactics to sell used cars, promote sponsors’ products on social media, and get us to buy now, while supplies last. #2 When you become someone people want to say yes to, you are heavily rewarded. Money is not your top priority, but it helps you get other things done and can be a benchmark for influence. #3 Influence doesn’t flow to those who deserve it, but to those who understand and practice it. And soon, that will be you. Being bad at something you care about and having to study and practice it may not seem like a gift, but when your skills improve, you’ll know exactly how you developed them and can replicate the process and even teach it to others. #4 I spent years studying how people make decisions, and how they can be influenced. I learned that while you should never force someone to do something they don’t want to do, you should always treat people like human beings and respect their freedom of choice.
