Being creative
The Challenge of change in the classroom
This book takes you on a journey revealing that all teachers possess the potential for creativity, regardless of their experience level. It emphasizes the importance of creativity in successful teaching and demonstrates that teachers can develop their creative abilities, leading to positive changes in their classrooms. The book is divided into three parts: Part A explores the historical development of creativity definitions and concepts, connecting them to current practices in education. It discusses the relationship between creativity and teachers, as well as creativity in the classroom, and presents strategies for fostering creativity. Part B offers practical activities that busy teachers can easily incorporate into their teaching. These activities align with the strategies from Part A—simplicity, combinational creativity, playfulness, and risk-taking—requiring minimal preparation while enhancing the language learning experience. Each activity is accompanied by useful comments that provide rationales and encourage reflection. Part C addresses the challenges teachers face in implementing creative practices, helping them navigate fears and resistance. It includes exercises for individual reflection or group workshops, supporting teachers in their ongoing professional development and creative journey.
