  In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers:Facts prevent understandingTeacher-led instruction is passiveThe 21st century fundamentally changes everythingYou can always just look it upWe should teach transferable skillsProjects and activities are the best way to learnTeaching knowledge is indoctrinationIn each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice. Then, she explains exactly why it is a myth, with reference to the principles of modern cognitive science. She builds a powerful case explaining how governments and educational organisations around the world have let down teachers and pupils by promoting and even mandating evidence-less theory and bad practice.This blisteringly incisive and urgent text is essential reading for all teachers, teacher training students, policy makers, head teachers, researchers and academics around the world.

  This book draws on the author's professional experience and published works in the areas of leadership, philosophy, psychology, and management (amongst others) to discuss the 'softer' qualities of being a good lawyer—qualities which are not taught or widely documented, such as humility, confidence, personal relationships, and our dreams and vision. 
   
  The book demonstrates that we can be individuals within the law and outlines qualities that can both enrich our work and our souls. A theme throughout many of the chapters is to encourage us to think and act differently to what we may have been taught, what others expect, or what we ourselves believe. To know that regardless of our strengths and weaknesses, we are unique individuals in the law. This book offers wisdom and pragmatic support for lawyers and anyone involved with the law. 
   
  Covering a range of issues, it includes advice on: maintaining one's passions inside and outside law; dealing with perfectionist tendencies, anxiety, and depression; managing our fears and dealing with mistakes; striving for an honorable path; understanding and leveraging the organizational matrix; acting as a moral voice in your organization; leading with humility and vulnerability; taking breaks and reconnecting with ourselves; and navigating structural inequalities in one's career.
