Description
Is creative teaching still possible in English schools?
Can teachers maintain and promote their own interests and beliefs as well as deliver a prescribed National Curriculum?Originally published in 1995, this book explores creative teachers’ attempts to pursue their brand of teaching despite the changes.
Peter Woods has discovered a range of strategies and adaptations to this end among such teachers, including resisting change which runs counter to their own values; appropriating the National Curriculum within their own ethos; enhancing their role through the use of others; and enriching their work through the National Curriculum to provide quality learning experiences.
If all else fails, such teachers remove themselves from the system and take their creativity elsewhere.
A strong theme of self-determination runs through these experiences. While acknowledging hard realities, the book is ultimately optimistic, and a tribute to the dedication and inspiration of primary teachers. The book makes an important contribution to educational theory, showing a range of responses to intensification as well as providing many detailed examples of collaborative research methods.
