The GCSE mindset: 40 activities for transforming student commitment, motivation and productivity

At a time when GCSE teaching can feel like a conveyor belt of micromanaged lessons and last-ditch interventions, Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin suggest a different approach.

When pupils engage and enrol in the process of learning, investing the best of themselves in the process, their results can far outstrip expectations.

This book takes a simple character education model as its starting point and presents a calendar of timely coaching activities, tutorial resources and one-to-one strategies that help pupils break through barriers, solve problems, sequence their independent work and release their potential.
