About the Book

A Practical Guide to a Big Education offers a bold new vision of an expansive education that is academic, relational and creative and shows you how you can make that shift in your school.

Discover practical guidance and tools to help you offer a more holistic education, balancing 'head, heart and hands' (academic learning, relational wellbeing and creativity) across your leadership, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practice. Covering a broad range of topics from belonging to behaviour, lunchtimes to learner profiles, design thinking to developing agency in teachers, expert school leaders from across the UK bring advice and insights to help you in your transformational journey. Each chapter explores inspiring changes you can make, the difference these can make to pupils and practical, realistic ideas of how to achieve this change along with case studies and reflective questions.

Big Education is a Multi-Academy Trust and charity working to transform the education system, ensuring young people receive a balanced education. Big Education run their own schools, as well as provide programmes to develop leaders and teachers.

Review :
For igniting student agency, curiosity, deeper learning, emotional and academic health, this book is overflowing with ideas, practices, and guidance - not theoretical, but proven strategies documented by headteachers and leaders. This a big guide for a big challenge facing all of us today – how to transform schools so that they provide a curiosity-rich education for all young people. As Kurt Lewin said, there’s nothing more practical than a good theory. And this collection of compelling voices hits the sweet spot between practical action and sound research. I love it! Head, Heart, Hand is a powerful antidote to a world obsessed with standardized testing and narrow measures of success. Lobatto and Seleznyov have brought together a brilliant group of deeply experienced practitioners who showcase a compelling vision for the future of education. This is a vision that is both grounded and aspirational, full of empathy and urgently needed. For any school leader ready to move beyond compliance and toward transformative practice, this book is an indispensable companion.
