"Tiny Voices Talk," compiled by Toria Bono, brings together tips and practical approaches from lesser-known teachers and leaders, drawn from her Tiny Voice Talks podcast. The publisher lists topics including mentoring, metacognitive skills, period education, trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.

The book is in line with our objective of supporting school leaders by giving them access to resources that prioritise practical applications and individual development within the teaching profession. It is a book that we would highly recommend as it has many great strategies for school leaders to use.

Who it is for

The publisher pitches it at teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases. For a leader, it works best as a source of short pieces to share with staff, or as a prompt for staff who have not yet found their voice to write or speak about their own practice. Because it is a collection of practitioners' views, check any approach against your own policies (for example, safeguarding and SEND) before adopting it.
