Creative dimensions of teaching and learning in the 21st century

Cummings, Jill B., editor, Blatherwick, Mary L., editor

Overview

In a rapidly changing world the importance of creativity is more apparent than ever. As a result, creativity is now essential in education. 'Creative Dimensions of Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century' appeals to educators across disciplines teaching at every age level who are challenged daily to develop creative practices that promote innovation, critical thinking and problem solving. The thirty-five original chapters written by educators from different disciplines focus on theoretical and practical strategies for teaching creatively in contexts ranging from mathematics to music, art education to second language learning, aboriginal wisdom to technology and STEM. They explore and illustrate deep learning that is connected to issues vital in education -- innovation, identity, engagement, relevance, interaction, collaboration, on-line learning, dynamic assessment, learner autonomy, sensory awareness, social justice, aesthetics, critical thinking, digital media, multi-modal literacy and more. The editors and authors share their passion for creativity, teaching, learning, curriculum, and teacher education in this collection that critically examines creative practices that are appearing in today's public schools, post-secondary institutions and adult and community learning centres. Creativity is transforming education in the 21st century. -- Back cover.
