Creative Teaching by David Starbuck
Learning is most effective when the students - and their teacher - are captivated and enjoying themselves. This concise, practical guide will help teachers gain the confidence to move out of their comfort zone and take some risks, in order to meet the needs of students with a variety of learning styles and needs. This updated edition of "Creative Teaching" includes activity ideas, self-evaluation exercises and easily-adaptable strategies for improving both classroom and whole-school creativity. There is new material on: independent learning - offering a clear framework for design, delivery and assessment of lessons; transforming the ethos of the school to a positive, creative one; and, the companion website - offering printable or downloadable checklists, questionnaires and templates. There are also even more practical examples and lesson ideas, and new case studies highlighting schools that are getting it right. This is an essential pocketbook for all teachers of students aged 11+, and school leaders who want to ensure that creative teaching and learning takes place throughout the school.
