'A really powerful book.' - Bruce Daisley Simple tools, extraordinary results. Everything we're learning about how we function best as humans in the digital age is pointing towards one of our oldest technologies: the pen and the page. Exploratory writing - writing for ourselves, not for others, writing when we don't know exactly what it is we want to say - is one of the most powerful and lightweight thinking tools we have at our disposal. It's also been, until now, one of the most overlooked. But the world's most influential leaders are increasingly using the techniques in this book to support the key skills of the 21st century - self-mastery, creativity, focus, solution-finding, collaboration - and so can you. Alison Jones has been helping business leaders identify and articulate what matters over a 30-year career in publishing and as a coach. The founder of Practical Inspiration Publishing and host of The Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast and community, she is passionate about the power of writing to change ourselves and the world.

Sylvia Ashton-Warner, novelist and educationist, was extraordinarily famous in the 1960s. She maintained that young children best learn to read and write when they produce their own vocabulary, especially sex words - like 'kiss', and fear words - like 'ghost'. Educators lauded her. Her autobiographical novels about teaching in remote schools, and being culturally abandoned in a remote country, New Zealand, attained enormous international popularity in both literary and educational circles. But she had an intensely ambivalent relationship with the land of her birth. Despite receiving many accolades in New Zealand, she claimed to have been rejected and persecuted by her homeland. In her darkest moments, she railed against New Zealand and New Zealanders, even stating in one television interview: "I'm not a New Zealander " This is the first book to make Sylvia Ashton-Warner's passionately difficult relationship with New Zealand its central focus. Its contributors argue that, rather than stultifying her, the country she decried produced Sylvia and her work. In addition, infant schooling in New Zealand in the post-war years was relatively radical and progressive, and education officials seemed to welcome Sylvia's ideas about literacy. The edited collection includes chapters by M ori teachers and others who worked with Sylvia, as well as recollections of her son, Elliot Henderson. It reprints her Teaching Scheme which was originally published in New Zealand in the 1950s, and it celebrates her novels as brilliant and angry evocations of life in the wildness of New Zealand.

Poetry for Teachers, by Michael S. Ryan, is an eclectic mix of selected free-verse and lyric poetry revolving around, but not limited to, the teaching-learning experience. A deceptively simple read, Ryan incorporates the day-to-day experiences of students and teachers with larger thematic views of the human condition. Poems in the book utilize humor, love and relationships, moments of fun, beauty and fear in the real and imagined school and classroom settings, different subject areas, a wide variety of literary features, mythological and other literary/authorial references, as well as the experiences of the author. Poetry for Teachers is divided into 2 sections: 'Students' and 'Teachers'. A comment on society, humans' relationships with literature, time, love, gravity, self and others, Michael S. Ryan's Poetry for Teachers is a recommended experience for ages twelve through adult.
