Creative Teaching Approaches in the Lifelong Learning Sector will
appeal to trainee and experienced teachers working in the lifelong
learning sector, including further and higher education, work-based
learning, and adult and community settings. "So much more than a
manual or menu of how to bring creativity into teaching, this book
will be refreshing for experienced lecturers, trainers and
teachers, and an inspirational as well as reassuring font of ideas
for those new to the role. In addition to presenting practical
ideas for individuals to use, Brendon Harvey and Josie Harvey's
book is uniquely valuable in addressing institutional challenges
that can face those introducing new creative ways of working, as
well as providing counsel on how the lecturer/trainer/teacher can
protect their own well-being when stepping into creative
territory." Dr Clare Rigg, Head of Department of Business, Hotel,
Catering & Tourism, Institute of Technology Tralee, County
Kerry, Ireland"Brendon and Josie have drawn on their wealth of
experience to co-author a practical teaching guide to meet the
needs of 21st century learners in the Lifelong Learning Sector.It
is an excellent guide for both those new to teaching and also those
seeking to meet the challenges of becoming more creative and using
new technologies and social media more effectively in their
professional practise. For the new teacher, there is a welcoming
section addressing some of the anxieties which may be present
before and during the early stages of practise as well as great
examples of what to include in a creative session without breaking
the bank! The final section focuses on creativity within the
organisational context and introduces us to the 'Trojan Mouse' and
the benefits of action research.This is a recommended read for
anyone looking to update their practice." Debbie Fletcher, Vice
Principal of Leeds City College"Drawing on their own experiences,
as shared with us in the stories of their respective journeys from
the world of traditional teaching and training methods and
environments to that of creative active engagement of and with
learners, the Harveys provide valuable insights into and a
practical guide for learning facilitators in a variety of contexts
to take or enhance their own journeys into the use of Creative
Approaches in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Complete with stories,
cases, and examples supported by provocative thinking points and
activities and exercises for learning facilitators, this is a
must-have resource. Consistent with their message, this is a
creatively written and presented practical guide that inspires
outside-the-box thought and action eschewing any attempts to
provide "recipes" but rather championing the need for diversity of
methods and approaches based on learners, setting, context, and
other variables." Tony G. LeTrent-Jones, Adjunct Professor,
University of North Carolina, USA, and Elon University, USA
