Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers: The Michaela Way Kindle Edition

What an amazing book!! I’ve been teaching for almost 20 years and I was blown away by their discipline and consistency. The book left me wanting to travel to London to see it for myself!

The right attitude to have in education now more than ever.

So inspiring.

This inspirational book is the perfect Christmas present for parents, teachers and school governors.The staff of Michaela School present a potent mixture of radical educational manifesto, practical handbook for implementing change and an inspirational vision of what schools might be like if we shift from a child centered ethos to a teacher centered one.It's hard not to be impressed and difficult not to be converted. The future of our schools (and society) depends on recruiting and retaining teachers. The Michaela way reframes teaching as a rewarding and exciting career. It's not presented as rocket science. It's not difficult to understand. It seems a lot easier for teachers than progressive education. Significantly better for children, their parents and the communities around the school.The greatest strength of the book is that it isn't the beautiful dream of some educational psychologist or the theoretical credo of a child development guru in California; the writers of this book are ambitious, interested and have rolled their sleeves up and are doing it. Children and teachers benefit. But like all systemic change it does demand schools to go "all in". Do British teachers have the capacity for more radical change? I think you probably have to drink the whole bottle of Michaela cool-aide, not just sip it.TL:DR - if you can read this - thank a teacher by buying them a copy of this book.
