This work takes a look at how to foster childrens creativity as well as following the guidelines in the National Curriculum. The book: explores the nature of the creative mind; investigates the role of play and the concept of creativity; examines appropriate continuing professional development for teachers; looks at the personal and professional identities of teachers; and considers ways of analyzing and describing creative practice. The text looks at the bigger picture in education, asking what sort of systems need to be designed to develop childrens learning in the 21st century. It should be a useful resource to teachers, head teachers and advisory staff committed to asking questions, encouraging play and not allowing problems or circumstances to block action.
