Success in the Creative Classroom
Using enjoyment to promote excellence
by
Steve Bowkett, Trisha Lee, Tim Harding, Roy Leighton |
 |
“…provides a depth that's then consistently developed into ideas that can be readily applied to current teaching. Sections on peers teaching each other, narrative learning and questioning all have the potential to inspire.”
Huw Thomas, Times Educational Supplement
This innovative, engaging and practical book uses a variety of forms of creative expression, and shows how these can be used for teaching children today. Each chapter opens with a story written in or featuring a different genre, which is then underpinned by research and theory and expanded into resources for activities supported by case studies.
