The Elephants in the Classroom talks directly to parents and teachers, providing a much-needed new perspective on the explosion of learning difficulties in our classrooms... and empowering them, with simple skills, to make many aspects of learning easier. Complementing Bridges to Success, this book explains how unlocking the use of mental imagery in a child's thinking can enable them to maximise their learning experiences. The challenges faced by neurodivergent thinkers and learners (for example, those with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Asperger's and Autism) in today's conventional teaching settings could be addressed by a better understanding of how students learn visually. This book explores how some of the most talented creative children, with unrecognised and tremendous potential, can be the ones who struggle most in school. Hundreds of thousands of children are growing up, plagued by poor literacy, poor numeracy, the inability to concentrate, sensory overload and other problems that hold them back and may seriously affect their behaviour. Although committed to multi-sensory teaching and learning, schools often don't know how students employ the critical thinking skills of mental imagery - this is visual learning. The Elephants in the Classroom explains how these students, often with gifted with exceptional creative skills, can learn to control their mental images to make learning easier. Visual learning skills can be explored by parents at any age and easily taught, especially in primary school. Slightly adjusting how we educate children will allow them to maximise their learning experience. Although mental imagery is a natural skill for everyone, its contribution to learning is often overlooked.

This book traces the development of "creative" writing as a classroom subject, the teaching of fiction- and verse-writing; and as a national system for the employment of fiction writers and poets to teach the subject. It answers the questions, "Why has fiction and verse writing come to be called creative?" and "When and why was this term first used?"

There's an elephant in the room, and it's doing society a great disservice. Often we're made to believe that diversity doesn't exist within intellectual history or accomplishments - or at the very least that most records of such work have been lost. This is not the case. From 19th century literary societies to today's ed-tech company creators, these elephants (aka Black scholars and innovators) exist everywhere. Their glaring absence from school curricula and media becomes that much more shameful when faced with their clear existence. Jolie Radunich's Elephant Prints: Reconstructing Our Image of Brilliance is a wake-up call. Now is the time to extract elephants from obscurity. We need to use their stories to: become knowledgeable about the past. spread awareness in the present. and offer hope that the network of existing elephants will continue to grow in the future. Frequently, the spotlighted accomplishments of elephants are treated as anomalies. There's so much more to honor, so much more innovation to encourage. We need to instill in the next generation a desire to inclusify their vision of brilliance, but this can only be done if they're aware of inspiring elephant legacies.

"[In] a joyous twist on the counting-book concept, a girl decides how many elephants are needed to pull a train out of a tunnel, paint the ceiling, go to the beach. . . .Bond's well-executed illustrations [project] a contagious sense of movement. A puckish sense of humor prevails among elephants who skateboard, don sunglasses, act tough, and even wink at the audience." —SLJ. 1993 "Pick of the Lists" (ABA)
