Creative Summer

The Guardian is launching a new series entitled Creative Summer, which will explore how teachers, teaching assistants and pupils are finding new and different ways to learn in the classroom. The series begins today with 'Deckchairs Don't Fly', in which poet John Hegley shares some of his tips for engaging with a young audience. Readers are also invited to share their contributions, while all creativity-related features from the Guardian can be accessed from this link.

The blog has already addressed the subject of creativity on a number of previous occasions. To view all previous relevant posts with information about useful websites, reports and TV programmes, just look at the 'Hot Topics' menu in the right-hand column and click on the 'Creativity' link.
