I think it is time to discuss students, staff and parents like they are more than a brain in a jar and a dominant writing hand. That's why I wrote two books. I'd love for you to read them. 📘 ambapress.com.au/collections/... 📙 www.mattpitman.com.au/store 📗 amzn.asia/d/1gEklTA

I spent a lot of time thinking about the structure of both of my books but this one was a little more personal in many ways. Take a look at the contents below 👇 📗 amzn.asia/d/1gEklTA 📘 ambapress.com.au/collections/... 📙 www.mattpitman.com.au/store #education #edusky #eduskyau

Publishing 27 August 2025 🎉 This is for teachers ready to start building genuine, lasting connection in their schools, even when leadership isn’t quite there yet. It’s about showing that meaningful culture change doesn’t have to start at the top. 🗻 Pre-order 👉 ambapress.com.au/collections/...

This morning I sent my second book off to the Amba Press team for editing. This new book is for those who want to have impact on connection now, rather than waiting for the system to catch up. Stay tuned! #education #teaching #school #connection #community

A gloomy Melbourne Sunday made much more sunny signing and preparing copies of The Connection Curriculum to go out this morning. A privilege to write in each of these copies and see the interest in the book continue to grow almost a year after publication. 📗 www.mattpitman.com.au/book #eduskyau

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just signed with Amba Press for the publication of my second book! This book was born from conversations with passionate educators about connection in their classrooms. You asked for it… and it’s on its way, later this year. More info to come very soon!
