From the Back Cover

'Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more important than inspiring children! If you are a teacher or parent this book, plus your enthusiasm, is all you need.'

Peter Honey, psychologist, author and management consultant

Does your organization encourage creativity?

Essential Creativity in the Classroom is about giving all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential. It is about developing real partnerships between parents, teachers, businesses and the community. It is about identifying best practice, finding teachers that are inspiring and schools that are committed to providing a special learning experience. This is a book to inspire, excite and stimulate creative approaches to learning.

Without creativity, we have no real innovation; we need people who are capable of thinking crazy, out of the box thoughts; we need people who shake us out of complacency. Recognising what schools develop, industry implements. If we create generations of young people unable to think for themselves, who are not excited by new ideas, who cannot undertake whole brain thinking, there will be no innovation.

The book covers in detail:

• What do you need to do to help children make the most of their creativity?
• How do children prefer to learn? Making learning a real experience.
• How to create an inspiring learning environment. What can teachers do to stimulate children’s creativity?
• Building self-esteem, helping individuals to believe in themselves.
• Supporting a young person in making creative career choices.

And for teachers:

• Fulfilling your creative potential.
• Doing it differently; how to enrich your life.

Essential Creativity in the Classroom identifies the best ways of supporting pupils as they navigate their exciting journey through a world of learning and discovery.
