How can you keep your class engaged and their learning on track? Nine teachers from schools across the UK talk about creativity, what is it and how they use it. Creativity isn't just art; these teachers talk about their responsibility to engage pupils in lessons, whether they are teaching times-tables or science. Being a creative teacher is demanding and a key skill is flexibility in planning, and in the approach to lessons. Whether it's speaking in an Australian accent, dressing up, using first hand experiences, or bringing in packed suitcases for a geography class, these teachers use interactive techniques to motivate and inspire creativity in their pupils. Sometimes this means the teacher modelling a creative response, which can be tough, risky and for some scary. And - what is it that kills creativity in the classroom?
