Creativity Across the Primary Curriculum

Reviews / Votes

'I thought creativity was out of fashion these days, but here is a timely reminder of what we should be doing in primary education: namely, educating the whole child, and not just the part that does SATs. The brief is wide but the author nevertheless manages to discuss the issues in some depth. It will be a useful inspiration to teachers and students concerned about these issues.' - Natalie Ford, NATE journal

'... Anna Croft presents a book which explores the nature of creativity and then seeks out ways in which creativity can be promoted through national curriculum subjects and teachers' professional development. The book is easily readable and the author purposefully informs teachers about ways in which creative thought can be engendered in primary schools ... As the NCCCE states 'The case for change is strong and the need for action is urgent' ... Creativity Across the Primary Curriculum [goes] some way toward promoting the changes required and outlining the actions which need to be taken.' - English 4-11
