In these stressful times, it is important to deliberately pause and consider the impact of ‘cognitive overload’ in our daily optimal functioning. Dr Joanne Casey’s new and original thinking, Leading with the Social Brain in Mind, is a ‘must read’ for all educators striving to give all students the best possible life chances, amid the turbulence in society. Joanne gives teachers and leaders many practical strategies to meet the demands of ensuring that ALL students are growing and achieving. Pure gold.

The provocations are powerful! Leading with the Social Brain in Mind clearly shows us that we must have a more realistic understanding of the organisational structures we create in our schools. School improvement requires more than a framework or a revised approach.

Leading with the Social Brain in Mind connects the lived experience with research. In particular, the visuals helped me to conceptualise my own thinking. I really liked the mapping approach at the end of each chapter – it makes lots of sense to me.
