Creativity In Secondary Education (achieving Qts)

Creativity is increasingly seen as central to good learning and teaching throughout the curriculum. This book examines the political and educational context behind such developments and looks at dilemmas faced by trainee teachers as they begin their teaching practice. Demonstrating what creativity is, how it evolves, and how it can be nurtured in various teaching contexts, the book will enable trainees to develop creativity in their teaching role and in their pupils' learning. Throughout, the book links clearly to the new UK Professional Standards for QTS and presents exercises, subject-based case studies, and teaching examples to engage and support all secondary trainees.
