Teachable Moments

<p>Creative teaching is an art form – aesthetic intuitive and expressive. The proliferation of new educational policies in the early 1990s and the related increase in tensions and dilemmas facing schools combined with the growing demand for a wider range of skills and knowledge among children meant that there was an even greater need for creative teaching than before the National Curriculum. </p><p>Originally published in 1996 this book addresses this need by: exploring the features of creative teaching with a focus on the day to day practice of primary teachers; showing how teachers used emotion created atmosphere and stimulated imagination to enhance their teaching; examining the ways in which teachers managed the National Curriculum and developed a new professional discourse in response to government pressures at the time. </p><p>This book is a sequel to <i>Creative Teachers in Primary Schools</i> and builds upon this work providing new insights into the art of teaching.</p>
