Most books about creativity for teachers are either scholarly texts that focus on primary research or books of "creative lesson plans" with no associated research or theory. Creativity in the Classroom: Schools of Curious Delight, Second Edition is designed to help teachers link research and theory regarding creativity to the everyday activities of classroom teaching.
