Teaching for creativityand creative teaching together will result in much higher levels of bothstudent engagement and student learning.The book focuses on three big, well-researched ideas related to creativitytraining - divergent thinking, intrinsic motivation, and the CPS model ofcreative problem solving - and shows how to apply these ideas in designinglessons that promote creativity as well as encourage the development ofcontent-based skills and knowledge. The book is written in a way that makesit easy for teachers to make these ideas their own, with many examples foruse in K-12 classrooms.
