Presenting strategies for effective teaching, this guide shows teachers how to be more creative, develop creativity in learners, and encourage higher-order processing. The authors give instructions for lesson ideas and strategies, rate innovation, and describe who can use them, intended outcomes, timing, thinking skills developed, resources, and differentiation and extension tips. The book cross-references their volume The Creative Teaching & Learning Toolkit (2007), and chapters correspond to the domains of effective teaching presented in it, with additional cross-references to Essential Briefings for Teachers (2007). The concluding chapters present ideas teachers can use to become more creative on their own. There is no index.
