'Being a closet Economics graduate, the concept of nudging has always fascinated me. Books by Kahneman and Thaler are among my non-fiction favourites, and I have regularly tried (and failed) to apply their techniques to get my wife to make my tea, and my 2 year old to sleep through the night. But one thing I had never considered was how these ideas could be applied in the classroom. Step forward Harry Fletcher-Wood. As he displayed in Responsive Teaching, Harry has an enviable knack of making complex ideas entirely comprehensible. Here Harry tackles the big questions, questions such as How can we convince students to learn? and How can we help students to start? . Through the use of dialogue, readers are able to see exactly how scenarios might play out in the classroom, making this one of the most practical actionable books I have ever read. A big recommend from me.' Craig Barton, Author of How I wish I'd Taught Maths and Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain 'Habits of Success is one of those rare books that successfully manages to distil a wealth of research into an accessible and practical guide for every teacher. The key issues, behaviours and habits that emerge in most busy classrooms are depicted with unerring accuracy and precision. The book goes on to perform the feat of offering evidence-informed approaches to help solve so many of the complex issues facing teachers and their pupils. I seldom make this claim for a book about teaching, but Habits of Success could prove to have a transformative impact on those school teachers and leaders who read it and apply its intelligent insights.' Alex Quigley, Education Endowment Foundation
