Starting with C for classroom culture, this programme takes an alphabetical journey through the key issues affecting creativity, featuring ten teachers who share their strategies for success at secondary. What role does a supportive classroom culture play in generating creativity? When teachers are under such pressure to drill for examinations, how can they risk taking the time to allow students to be creative? If students get things wrong, these teachers know that they need to stand back - nothing kills creativity like being told you are wrong. The teachers' plans for creativity have to be more flexible, 'Life doesn't follow a set pattern' and neither does a creative classroom. These teachers give examples of interactive techniques that work for them, from the 'exquisite corpse' to singing to learn German vocabulary. This programme is part of a series where secondary teachers share their tried and tested strategies.
