Creative Methods in Teaching and Learning: Fostering Teacher-Student Success

By: Atara Isaacson

This book explores teaching methods that foster creative thinking among students across various disciplines. It presents effective experiments conducted in workshops with both practicing teachers and student teachers, aiming to modernize existing teaching approaches to better align with the needs of the 21st century. The central argument is that adopting such methods will generate interest and engagement for both learners and educators, while also positively influencing teacher-student relationships and student achievement. The book clarifies and redefines the role of the teacher as an influential and formative figure, even as this role has evolved. It offers strategies to overcome obstacles to learning and suggests engaging approaches to creative activities. This book is intended for teacher educators, researchers, and teachers who deeply value education.
