They experience overwhelming feelings of burnout and stress, changing educational landscapes, added responsibilities, and rascal students. Yet, these devoted professionals show up every day to serve a higher purpose. Nick Esposito's debut book sheds light on the tremendous weight that teachers' carry with them into the classroom and with the help of Mr. Elephant he illuminates the one thing that is sure to alleviate it - purpose.

"I wish I could give my rst-year-teacher-self a copy of The Elephant in the Classroom as I embarked upon my path in education. If only this book existed back then! We are currently in the midst of a teacher turnover crisis, with more teachers leaving than ever before. This profession can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming, causing burnout and compassion fatigue in our caregivers. In order to start addressing this stress and burnout pandemic, we must share the voices that illuminate the experiences of the journey so that we can all feel a little less alone. And the characters in The Elephant in the Classroom do just that. Esposito sheds light onto the experiences of educators that we can each authentically connect to, bringing us together to help us realize the opportunity to choose joy in our purpose as we continue to do this important work as a community."
Danna Thomas, Founder - Happy Teacher Revolution

"Ironically enough, it took me about a week to finish N.C.E's The Elephant in the Classroom due to the high demands of being a high school marching band director. In his short story, Esposito accurately and creatively illustrates many of the common struggles a modern day teacher will face, and gives incredible insight on how establishing a purpose and embracing community can empower teachers to combat burnout and self-doubt. The Elephant in the Classroom is a great reminder for me to focus on the truly important things in my classroom: accountability, teamwork, compassion, pride, and self-care".
Sean Cohen, High School Marching Band Director
