Our desire as teachers to be creative and to encourage our learners’ creativity are prime motivating factors in our own professional self-development and self-renewal. Yet there is often a tension perceived between ‘being creative’ in our lessons and the demands of standardised curricula and testing. In this interactive talk, Antonia and Alan will explore reasons why they believe it is so important to resolve that tension – to teach the syllabus in creative ways. They will also offer practical ideas from their new book TheCreative Teacher’s Compendium to help you become that flamingo in your teaching.
