We do it the way we've always done it and, in so many ways and despite our best intentions, we often end up doing it badly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e But, as ever, there is another way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Which is where Independent Thinking Associate Dave Harris comes in. With an impressive track record in leadership that includes establishing one of England's all-too-rare all-through 318 state schools, Dave knows first-hand how much can be achieved when all phases work together and keep the children, not the system, at the heart of all they do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In this book he tackles school transition head-on, sharing a wealth of practical approaches and vividly illustrating how primary and secondary schools can better collaborate to ensure their pupils enjoy a smooth and effective move between the two phases. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Dave's passion for joined-up thinking between different phases shines through in his writing, as does his ingenuity when it comes to the design and delivery of programmes that work. He provides a clear explanation of the differences between transition and induction programmes, and also shares a comprehensive set of appendices in which he presents a range of materials to support the ideas put forward in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Suitable for all school leaders from heads of department and heads of year to head teachers and transition leads in primary and secondary schools. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndependent \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking on Transition\u003c\/i\u003e is one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On series from the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781353409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781353400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Thinking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Dave Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169908093183,"sku":"9781781353400","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fa7bdd3-3301-4a79-a046-84b8040f793f.jpg?v=1689655622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/independent-thinking-on-transition-dave-harris-9781781353400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
