Creative
Teaching: Getting It Right
by David Starbuck
Most teachers accept that learning is most effective when
it is enjoyable, but they are given little direct advice
about how to achieve the creative and motivating classrooms
that educationalists appeal for. This fascinating book creates
a coherent picture of how teachers can make learning easier
and more enjoyable for their pupils, including activity
ideas, self-evaluation exercises and adaptable action plans
for improving both classroom and whole-school ethos.

Letting
the Buggers Be Creative
Sue Cowley
Since
the publication of the ground-breaking report "All
Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education" in
1999, creativity has been the buzzword in education. However,
despite various initiatives to encourage teachers to incorporate
creativity into their teaching, teachers still bemoan the
fact that this is virtually impossible given the dominance
of the three Ts (testing, targets and (league) tables).
Sue Cowley shows how it is possible to create a place for
creativity in every subject, even those which are not traditionally
thought of as particularly 'creative' subjects like science
and technology. In true Buggers style, her prose is inviting
and invigorating, and will undoubtedly inspire a generation
of teachers. |
