School culture is unarguably central to a school’s success or failure. While there is no single "correct" school culture, there are lessons to be learned. Culture Rules examines the factors that create an environment where students want to learn, and adults want to teach.

Culture Rules explores staff culture, student culture, team building, establishing and maintaining norms inside and outside the classroom, and lessons learned from top-performing schools. By sharing her personal journey in school leadership, Jo Facer:

Full of practical, sustainable ideas for schools to implement in the short and long term, this is essential reading for all school leaders in primary and secondary schools looking to build a great school culture in their organisations.

researchED is an educator-led organisation with the goal of bridging the gap between research and practice. This accessible and punchy series, overseen by founder Tom Bennett, tackles the most important topics in education, with a range of experienced contributors exploring the latest evidence and research and how it can apply in a variety of classroom settings.While there are many routes to growing great schools, investing in the quality of the teachers is one of the best bets to improve both pupils' educational outcomes and their experience of school. And, crucially, teacher quality is not fixed - all teachers can always improve. Professional development is not solely about the teaching techniques we use in the classroom, but encompasses the way we learn to think about the curriculum, how we manage behaviour, and even how we behave as leaders.In this book, Jo Facer brings together contributions from expert writers including Elisabeth Bowling, Nimish Lad, Reuben Moore and Jenny Thompson, to consider what we might learn from cutting-edge research, and how we might apply this to the messy, on-the-ground reality of schools today.

What do great leaders need to do to run great schools? This exciting new book from Jo Facer takes the theory, ideas, and vision that so many leaders share and translates it into the small steps that busy school leaders can take that together lead to big positive changes.

Exploring the three cornerstones of a great education – behaviour, curriculum, and teaching – as well as the oft-neglected operations, the book outlines the theory and what best practice looks like in each area and then reveals the leadership actions that enable schools to get there. Each chapter also features real case studies from school leaders who explain how they have implemented the ideas and the impact they have had in their settings.

Teaching: the best job in the world. Yet, increasingly, it is considered one of the toughest professions. In recent years, practices have arisen and become widespread which overcomplicate teaching and increase teacher workload, while only having a marginal impact on pupil learning. Simplicity Rules explores how children learn and the most effective ways to teach them, focusing on achieving results using strategies that are low effort and high impact, along with a comprehensive framework underpinning the ideas.

Covering what to teach, talk, practice, starting a lesson, ending a lesson, and feedback alongside practical methods to reduce workload as well as simpler and clearer systems to support teachers in the long term, this book asks:

Promoting a simplification of teaching practices, Simplicity Rules is an essential guide for school teachers of all levels of experience, and school leaders.
