When tiny voices talk, three amazing things happen: they share surprising ideas and insights; they realise they are not so tiny; and they empower other tiny voices to talk too.Drawing on the winning formula of her Tiny Voice Talks podcasts, Toria Bono has compiled a great resource full of top tips and actionable advice from a range of tiny voices across the educational spectrum. The assembled voices speak on a broad range of topics relating to education and learner development - from mentoring, metacognitive skills and period education, to trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.But above all, this book is a call to action for all those in our schools who have yet to find their voice to find it - and use it. There are big people with big voices (and big egos) in education, yet they are the minority. The majority consists of great people just getting on with doing great things - more often than not with people, not data, at the heart of their practice. This book inspires such people to find and use their voice; and when tiny voices talk to tiny voices, everyone wins. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases.

¿Cómo influyen las lecturas en la escritura? ¿Un escritor debería ser un buen lector? ¿Se puede enseñar a escribir literatura? ¿Qué escribimos en esta época mediada por algoritmos?. En tiempos de polifonia y descentramiento de la autoridad letrada, este libro invita a repensar la escritura en sentido plural: aunque a menudo vista como una actividad solitaria, es en esencia una practica que se ejerce en comunidad. Los talleres literarios, las lecturas con las que dialoga o se alimenta lo escrito, el mientras escribo de cada texto, la materialidad del lenguaje (incluidas las normas ortograficas), la escritura en tiempos de inteligencia artificial y, por ultimo, el territorio de la imaginacion como espacio para viajar y escribir. Cada capitulo de este libro funciona como razon o como excusa para hablar del origen, los procesos, la materia y el soporte de aquello que escribimos. Para responder a las preguntas del comienzo o elaborar otros interrogantes. Y para poner en practica la propia escritura. A fin de cuentas, hacer espacio, dar lugar y sentido a eso que deseamos, pero que escasea: el tiempo de escribir.
