Reihe: Learning to Teach in the Primary School Series

Packed full of practical ideas, Teaching Design and Technology Creatively provides a stimulating source of guidance for busy trainee and practising teachers. Fully updated to reflect the new curriculum and underpinned by the very latest research, this book offers a wealth of suggestions to foster creative development in D&T. Studies show that pupils who experience broader curricula achieve higher overall results in core subjects. This accessible text looks at a variety of different topic approaches to support teachers in providing their students with more authentic experiences to ensure they reach their creative potential.

Focusing on the key areas of D&T whilst providing a wealth of ready-to-use ideas for creative lessons, chapters cover:

- case studies of BA Primary Education programme modules;

- the building blocks and foundations of creativity in early years’ curriculum;

- the use of objects, books and real life contexts as starting points to help pupils undertake engaging D&T projects;

- designerly thinking based on research and practice in Dutch schools;

- making the most of construction kits;

- encouraging dialogic talk in D&T to drive learning;

- food as a creative resource;

- IT and programming and its link to the curriculum;

- classroom conversation and its place in nurturing creativity.



Grounded in research and wider theories of learning, Teaching Design and Technology Creatively provides practical teaching suggestions to ensure teachers of all levels understand how to teach for creativity. This book also takes lessons outside, considering how learning experiences have the potential to extend students’ technological knowledge, promoting problem-solving and evaluation. Drawing on examples from real-world projects in the UK and overseas, this text is invaluable for all those who wish to engage students in D&T and encourage creative classroom practice.
