Reihe: Learning to Teach in the Primary School Series

Whilst knowledge in each separate subject is essential, it is cross disciplinary applications of that knowledge that make the most sense for most learners. This book provides practicing and training teachers the resources for teaching creativity and creatively through a variety of approaches. Thematic and project-based learning in the primary school need to be used not as an alternative to subject-based teaching but to run alongside as the most effective means of putting subject learning into action. This book uses autobiographical work and case studies to explore aspects of cross-curricular and creative teaching and includes philosophical and research-based discussion on indivdual themes.
