Deep Creativity reveals the findings of Victor Shamas' 30-year
exploration of the creative process. Rather than observing
creativity in others, he delved into the experience directly in
order to uncover hidden truths and break free of common
misconceptions. Deep Creativity turns fundamental assumptions about
creativity on their head while offering fresh perspectives on the
scientific method, fractals, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, plate
tectonics, mind and consciousness, hero myths, the life cycle,
sleep and dreams, mothers' intuition, the nature of wisdom, peak
experiences, and even the Gospels. Written from a research
psychologist's perspective, Deep Creativity portrays the creative
experience as a bold adventure filled with passion, turmoil,
inspiration, sacrifice, sheer joy, self-transcendence, and
unconditional love.

volume, along with recommendations for implementation that will
ensure appropriately challenging educational opportunities for
gifted students.
Major themes include nature versus nurture in arts talent
development, crystallizing experiences, teacher empowerment, and
collaboration between school and community members in identifying
talented art students.
The readings in this volume report on specific programme
evaluations, offer critical guidance in the development and
utilization of instruments for assessing Gifted and Talented
programmes, and provide stimuli for the discussion of issues
surrounding G/T programme evaluation.
Raising some of the most challenging questions in the field, this
call-to-arms focuses on the important service gifted programmes
provide, the potential crisis gifted educators face, and what must
be done to keep the gifted child movement alive and well.
This volume addresses the underrepresentation of culturally diverse
and/or economically disadvantaged students in gifted and talented
programmes, from the inadequate identification process to
culturally unsavvy programming and programme staffing.
Gifts, Talents and Education: A Living Theory Approach is a
practical guide for teachers on how to help all their pupils to
enhance their gifts and talents in the classroom. Examples reveal
how teachers can transform the way education is understood in
schools, by relating stories of how they learned about their own
gifts and talents. The book explains recent key developments in
multimedia representations of social and emotional aspects of
learning. These permit the multi-sensory gifts and talents of
individual learners to be recognised and developed within a process
that enhances the emotionally literate space of enquiring
classrooms. Gifts, Talents and Education assumes a capability
approach to human development which rests on enabling individuals
to realise their gifts and talents within a co-created sense of the
common good. The book offers values, skills and understanding as
concepts that retain a direct connection with practice. The stories
are grounded in the lives of practitioner researchers who show the
lived meanings of these ideas as they are realised in practice,
asking questions such as 'how do I improve what I am doing?' and
'how do I live my values more fully in practice?'.
