Recenzii

Creative Partnerships in Practice gives a full and refreshingly clear account of the many faces of creativity and the theoretical and assessment models that have been used to define it. If you are wondering what creative learning looks like and what the benefits are for children, parents and schools by doing it, then Parker's book will offer you excellent and insightful examples that can be easily applied. Well written and with evidence tumbling off the pages of the many rich and rewarding personal as well as academic outcomes, you may indeed ask yourselves why every child isn't able to access creative learning experiences, every day. This book will get you itching to make it happen.
Creative partnerships was an important initiative that helped to bring creativity into many schools and classrooms. However, the initiative didn't exist in a vacuum and David Parker's book traces the origins and explores the legacy with skill and attention. It is an impressive record of the initiative and a sound foundation on which creativity in the classroom can be taken forward now.
Protecting and developing young people's creative-mindedness is one of the most important jobs in the world.David Parker distills the lessons of the ground-breaking Creative Partnerships programme into vital, practicallessons for the future. If you care about creativity, read this book.
David Parker's new book, Creative Partnerships in Practice: Developing creative learners, offers a rare and enlightening look into the operation and impact of a large scale project in creative education. Relying on a combination of statistics and case study methods, Parker shows how this remarkable program affected pupils, teachers, administrators and parents over a 10 year period. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in creative education or in arts and cultural education, as well as educators who wish to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning in their schools.
