"In today's 'teach-to-the-test' climate, do we ever need a book
about wisdom and creativity! Our focus as educators is enriched by
this book." -Robert Di Giulio, Professor Johnson State College
"Creativity, wisdom, and trusteeship may each sound good enough in
itself, but the contributors to this volume make a compelling case
for how much they need one another." -David Perkins, Professor
Harvard University How do creativity, wisdom, and trusteeship
translate into "excellent and ethical" educational practices? This
important new volume from Anna Craft, Howard Gardner, and Guy
Claxton focuses on the need to educate for "wise creativity" so
that students will learn to expand their perspectives and exercise
their talents responsibly within their school community and in the
real world. The editors' theories, plus contributions from noted
scholars Dean Keith Simonton, David Henry Feldman, Jonathan Rowson,
Helen Haste, Patrick Dillon, Hans Henrik Knoop, Christopher
Bannerman, Robert J. Sternberg, and Dave Trotman, develop a concept
of teachers as "trustees," or respected, nonpartisan role models
who can exercise wise creativity in their classrooms and cultivate
this quality in their students. The book explores a wide range of
questions, such as: What is the nature of creativity and wisdom and
what does it mean to exercise a balance between the two? What do
creativity, wisdom, and trusteeship look like in society and in the
school community? How can schools educate for creativity tempered
by wisdom? What does it take to nurture trustee leadership in the
classroom and schoolwide? Thought-provoking and incisive,
Creativity, Wisdom, and Trusteeship is essential reading for all
members of the educational community.
