Download or read book Elephant Prints written by Jolie Radunich and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Elephants in the Classroom by : Olive Hickmott
Download or read book The Elephants in the Classroom written by Olive Hickmott and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mindset Mathematics written by Jo Boaler and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the first-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

Follow along and listen to the elephants as scientists learn what they are saying.
