"It [provides] food for thought and left me wanting to use this in a discussion group with fellow teachers and artists...There is a strong call to study the delicate balance that creativity poses for us both in our own lives and in bringing creativity to life in those we teach. Creativity in Schools: Tensions and Dilemmas is a productive and energizing place to start." --Joanne Toft, Arts for Academic Achievement in Minneapolis Public Schools, Teaching Artist Journal 'Original, thoughtful and thorough' - The Times Educational Supplement
