Turning Pupils on to Learning documents and makes visible how creative learning approaches can engage and motivate children in their learning.
The book features six case studies of creative learning projects that cover the early years through to Key Stage 3 which are written by the teachers and creative practitioners involved. From the creation of new learning spaces to wider curriculum innovation, the case studies discuss the need for the projects, how they came about, the activities and challenges and the lasting outcomes for teachers and pupils. They describe a model of learning that offers an ethical way for children to engage with the world, which develops their creative skills and supports high achievement.
Each case study is supported by a wealth of questions and activities designed to provoke personal reflection and professional development discussions with colleagues.
