Why should we foster creativity in primary English?
A practical and accessible text that demonstrates how creative thinking and learning can support primary English teaching. With chapters mapped to the Teachers′ Standards and links to the new National Curriculum, each chapter provides a case study exploring high-quality primary English practice including planning, rationale and ideas for the classroom. These are fully grounded in a wide range of theoretical frameworks, viewpoints and values. Reflective activities in each chapter offering practical exercises and additional reading suggestions, encourage trainee teachers to further their understanding of how theory translates to classroom practice.
This inspiring book helps support learning, teaching and assessment without losing innovation, excitement and motivation for both teachers and children.
In this book, Adrian Copping offers an insightful exploration of creativity in the primary classroom and challenges assumptions about this concept. This book encourages the reader to think about the opportunities for developing creative thinking and engagement across different aspects of primary English specifically, but also offers principles of creative teaching across the curriculum. Practical examples and ideas for the classroom enhances the discussion around this concept. This book is helpful to those new teaching in developing their understanding and range of teaching approaches, as well as reminding all practitioners of the principles of creative teaching to enable creative thinking and learning. -- Rachael Paige
