Organic Creativity in the Classroom demonstrates an approach to teaching creatively-teaching to intuition-that is written by experienced, award-winning classroom teachers. Instead of focusing on divergent production skills such as fluency and flexibility, an outdated approach that dominates the field of creativity studies, this book includes helpful strategies that can be used to encourage students to become more creative within a specific domain. Teachers of writing, mathematics, science, social science, literature, foreign language, theater, songwriting, psychology, comparative religion, and arts education, among other domains, who infuse creativity and intuition into their classrooms share their practical advice using an insightful storytelling approach.
