Product reviews for The Monkey-Proof Box

If you have been eagerly anticipating the release of Jonathan's second book, like I have, you will not be disappointed! The Monkey-Proof Box is a compelling read about curriculum development, providing clear, concise, tried-and-tested approaches deeply rooted in educational research that Jonathan and his school team have developed over years of hard work. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan and visiting the wonderful school that he writes so passionately about, then you will know that this book is a culmination of commitment, bravery and dedication from a team of people who believe in their pupils, their school and its community.

It empowers you to question and reflect on the curriculum practice in your own school, and inspires you to think creatively about what is possible when you have the foundations firmly in place. What Jonathan makes clear, through this invaluable manual, is that all of our schools are unique and to treat them in any other way would be unjust.

Full of amusing anecdotes and situations that all teachers can relate to, The Monkey-Proof Box kindly shares some insightful approaches for us to consider as we strive to develop a curriculum that is right for the learners in our individual schools.
