  Andrew Young

  By focusing less on labels and more on cognitive load, executive functioning and working memory and communication,the reader is equipped to cater for the needs of pupils with SEND in much more productive and sensitive ways. Rather than seeing the children as the barrier, this approach encourages teachers to understand the barriers that they are faced with, and this shift in perspective makes adaptive teaching feel achievable and transformative. Structured around four key areas (culture, brains, teaching and curriculum), this book connects theory to practice with clarity and purpose.
  Adaptive teaching is not about adding more to a teacher's workload. It's about refining what we already know works, using pragmatic teaching and learning strategies and pupil-centred practice with greater care and intentionality. It means teaching to the margins and enabling pupils with additional needs to flourish, feeling a part of (rather than outside) our classroom culture.
  Suitable for teachers and school leaders working in mainstream education, as well as special school or alternative provision staff.

  The AI Mirror - How to Reclaim...

  For many, technology offers hope for the future—that promise of shared human flourishing and liberation that always seems to elude our species. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies spark this hope in a particular way. They promise a future in which human limits and frailties are finally overcome—not by us, but by our machines. Yet rather than open new futures, today's powerful AI technologies reproduce the past. Forged from oceans of our data into immensely powerful but flawed mirrors, they reflect the same errors, biases, and failures of wisdom that we strive to escape. Our new digital mirrors point backward. They show only where the data say that we have already been, never where we might venture together for the first time. 
   
   
   
  To meet today's grave challenges to our species and our planet, we will need something new from AI, and from ourselves. 
   
   
   
  Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be: a way to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than lose ourselves in mirrors of the past. Rejecting prophecies of doom, she encourages us to pursue technology that helps us recover our sense of the possible, and with it the confidence and courage to repair a broken world. Vallor calls us to rethink what AI is and can be, and what we want to be with it.

  Do you ever feel that despite your skill and hard work, you're overlooked because of your gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or nationality? Do you feel the need to dim your shine just to fit in? 
  But what if being othered could be your strength? What if, embedded in your experience of adversity, is a new kind of leadership that challenges, inspires, and empowers? 
  In Being Other, Hanae Bezad takes you on a journey through her lived experiences—as a woman, an Arab, a Muslim, and an African—and intertwines them with the tales of other inspirational women. Together, they shine a light on how racism, misogyny, and deep-rooted power dynamics can be confronted and transformed into a foundation for unshakable dignity, self-worth and self-love. 
  Each chapter unfolds with transformational stories told in Bezad’s warm, poetic yet confronting voice, culminating in exercises to apply these learnings in your own life. 
  Being Other is for every Black, Indigenous and Women of Colour looking to reclaim her otherness as a creative superpower and achieve the success she deserves.
