Description: This book offers a challenging new approach to enhancing children's learning through a process of reflective analysis called 'innovative thinking'. With practical examples drawn from a variety of learning contexts, the authors provide a framework for reviewing and reflecting on classroom experience, focusing particularly on those aspects of teaching and learning that are surprising, puzzling or worrying. This book outlines a series of steps that will help teachers generate new ideas and practical strategies to guide the development of their work, and offers an approach which emphasises strategies that can be incorporated into teachers' work with the whole class, and to the potential benefit of all children. The book illustrates how 'innovative thinking' can particularly assist teachers in enhancing the learning and inclusion of individual children whose classroom responses give cause for concern. Any teacher eager to put new learning strategies into practice will be encouraged and inspired by this groundbreaking book.
