Media Reviews
Teachers wishing to develop their creative practice will be able to dip into relevant sections, although each section probably needs to be read in its entirety and there would be undoubted benefit in learning from across sections as well. -- Learning and Teaching Update, Issue 53, April 2012
The achievement of Success in the Creative Classroom lies in one basic feature: these writers have each explored a specific area of creative learning that brings out their passion and expertise. ... [it] provides a depth that's then consistently developed into ideas that can be readily applied to current teaching. Sections on peers teaching each other, narrative learning and questioning all have the potential to inspire. -- Huw Thomas * Times Educational Supplement *
