Built on the core belief that creativity for teachers and students is required for success in the 21st century, this book provides teachers with a step-by-step plan for accessing their own creative resources and cultivating a more creative teaching practice.

The author offers a breakdown of the creative process as it applies to both lesson building and delivery, includes detailed guidelines on how to identify creativity that furthers educational goals, and presents research-based, creative teaching strategies designed to enhance learning by engaging, motivating, and inspiring students across grade levels and subject areas.

Teachers will gain confidence in their own ability to teach from their strengths and to elicit students' strengths and creativity.
