  This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
  The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
  Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
  In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
  Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.

  This seven-session audio Bible study begins with a look at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along.

  Roman Legions - The Military...

  The Roman legions were the backbone of one of the most formidable military forces in history. Before the rise of the professional army, Rome’s early military structure was largely based on citizen soldiers who fought in times of need. This early system was influenced by both the Etruscans and the Greeks, shaping the foundation of what would become the highly disciplined and organized Roman legions. Over time, reforms, particularly those of Gaius Marius, transformed the Roman military into a professional and highly efficient force that would dominate the ancient world. 
  In the early days of Rome, military service was tied to land ownership. The army was made up of citizen militias, with each man providing his own weapons and armor. This system was similar to that of the Greek hoplites, where soldiers fought in close formations with shields and spears. However, as Rome expanded, it became clear that a more structured and permanent military force was needed. The influence of the Etruscans introduced elements of hierarchy and organization, while the Greeks contributed to Rome’s use of phalanx-style formations in battle. Despite these early influences, the Roman army continued to evolve, adapting to new threats and challenges. 
  The real transformation of the Roman military came during the late Republic, when Gaius Marius introduced the Marian Reforms. These changes allowed for the recruitment of landless citizens, shifting the army from a temporary force to a standing professional military. Soldiers were now equipped by the state, ensuring uniformity in weapons and armor. The structure of the army was also refined, replacing the older phalanx formations with the more flexible manipular and cohort systems. This allowed for greater maneuverability on the battlefield, giving the Romans a significant advantage over their enemies.

  “The Future of Our Educational Institutions” is a work by Friedrich Nietzsche, originally delivered as a series of five public lectures at Basel University in 1872. In this work, Nietzsche critically examines the attempt in 19th-century Germany to make education public, and its inherent politicisation. He points out the deep contradictions within the gymnasium system and argues against the exploitation of youth by the State for its own purposes. Nietzsche presents a radical challenge to the existing educational institutions and practices, arguing that education in modernity is a lost cause.
