'A larger and an extremely diverse collection of activity ideas.'--The Teacher Trainer
Product Description
This book aims to help you become a more effective teacher through a new teaching and learning framework which centres on the key role of creativity. Inside you will learn how to use creativity to reinvigorate teaching across all subject areas, thereby inspiring learners to reach their potential. Through a highly practical and inclusive approach, the book equips you with a range of common-sense strategies and tools designed to build on your existing knowledge and skills. They include: an easy to follow five-stage framework for effective teaching and learning that presents clear and fresh thinking about what helps learners succeed; over 200 strategies, tools and tips to enhance your creative thinking and that of your students; diverse case studies showing how other teachers have used creativity to enhance their teaching and get the desired results; and a CD containing electronic versions of a range of key documents from the book which can form the basis of your own tailored development programme. Award-winning authors Brin Best and Will Thomas draw on a wealth of teaching experience from a range of schools in the UK. With the aid of interactive self-evaluation exercises, they guide you through a step by step model that will pinpoint what you need to do to take your teaching to the next level. The book will help you make the transition from a talented teacher to a truly creative teacher, and will help you to rediscover the joy of teaching within the contemporary classroom.

You'll find yourself enjoying professional development, perhaps for the first time!,
By Mrs. T. Mawby "Primary Teaching and Learning ... (Wolverhampton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Creative Teaching and Learning Toolkit (Spiral-bound)
Wow - so much for so little, as not only are you going to feel you are making things better for you and your pupils, but there is reassurance that you are on the right lines in the first place, AND you get a CD of the resources shown in the book! At this price, you'd be daft not to buy it!
As you read, you feel that you are having a conversation with someone, who is gently leading you on a learning journey. You feel empathised with that development is not easy, and some parts may not be what you are looking for just then, as there are suggestions to move to other chapters if you don't fancy the next one and to come back later. There are ideas to try both for yourself and your pupils, whatever age range you teach - one of the best I saw today was about why pupils may not feel like learning in the first place and some suggestions on how to change it. It is resource to make you think. You may just dip in, but I think you will find yourself reading more than you expected, and enjoying it - I certainly am!

This book is for secondary school teachers,
By
This review is from: Creative Teaching and Learning Toolkit (Spiral-bound)
It only tells you its for secondary teachers in the opening chapter. It does make you think about your teaching in a general way, but it would take a lot of time to study and adapt. I only looked through it quickly, but found that I already use many of the ideas, albeit in adapted form, in my primary classroom (mnemonics, raps, objects, puppet shows, including children in planning, visualising success, using music, creating a positive classroom etc. etc.). I suppose it makes you re-examine and evaluate how you teach, no matter the age range, but the materials are either unsuitable, or would need to be heavily adapted for use in the primary sector. If you're not already teaching this way then you're not primary trained!
