Creative Teaching: Getting it Right

Description

Most teachers accept that learning is most effective when it is enjoyable, but they are given little direct advice about how to achieve the creative and motivating classrooms that educationalists appeal for. This fascinating book creates a coherent picture of how teachers can make learning easier and more enjoyable for their pupils, including activity ideas, self-evaluation exercises and adaptable action plans for improving both classroom and whole-school ethos.
