"Beyond the Label is a beautifully written book, presenting the reader with candid pictures of the structure and messiness of what it is to teach and to learn in a school where pupils have as much to teach teachers as they have to learn themselves.
The assembled stories and thoughts mix the triumphs and mis-steps that come with teaching young people whose honesty and truths at times may feel bruising.
Anne M Scriven demonstrates throughout the book the positive outcomes that can be achieved when teachers are willing to co-produce learning and teaching with their pupils.
Anne writes with a passion about pupil and teacher identity, the barriers there are to accepting that those with additional support needs are different, not less, and making sure that Scottish heritage plays a significant part in the curriculum."
Laura Watkins, Fellow of the Institute of Directors, CEO of The Donaldson Trust, National Body for Neurodiversity.

As a published writer, former academic, bookseller and experienced teacher, Anne M Scriven is at home in many facets of the literary world. Holding a PhD in Scottish Literature — a subject she taught at university level and for which she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship — she continues to champion Scotland’s languages and culture. Her continuing aim is to leave her audience — be that in a classroom, coffee shop or community hall — delighting in the sustaining power of words and story.
