Creativity in Primary Education Summary

Creativity in Primary Education by Anthony Wilson

A sound understanding of the role primary creativity plays in learning and teaching will help trainee teachers become creative practitioners and develop creativity in their pupils. The second edition of this popular text retains key material from the previous book, but it has been substantially updated and revised to include six new chapters which explore creativity in both a subject specific context as well as the broader issues of creativity in SMSC and the Foundation Stage. The book is linked throughout to the Standards for the award of QTS and also considers important government agendas such as Every Child Matters.
