It is not possible to teach someone to be creative. It is not possible to teach someone to be intelligent. It is, however, possible to teach students to use the creativity and intelligence they already have. Students can be taught to think more creatively or intelligently, and can also learn strategies for thinking more rationally or imaginatively.

Encouraging creative thinking in the classroom is an exciting component of any effective gifted education program. This guide offers basic foundations required for supporting creativity. From establishing the right classroom environment, to using creative teaching strategies, to assessing student outcomes, this book is filled with practical information. The book also includes a listing of competitive contests and programs and an extensive list of resources.

This is one of the books in Prufrock Press' popular Practical Strategies Series in Gifted Education. This series offers a unique collection of tightly focused books that provide a concise, practical introduction to important topics concerning the education of gifted children. The guides offer a perfect beginner's introduction to key information about gifted and talented education.

A Creative Look Into Creative Strategy
Cramond's conversational tone that is reflected throughout the publication helps creativity and the importance of fostering it and offering opportunities in the classroom come alive! 

As a fairly new student to studying the field of creativity, the introduction to age-appropriate activities and the readable language used to demonstrate the purposes of strategic implementation were most helpful! 

A definite must-read for any student, teacher, parent, or scholar looking to foster creativity in the classroom or in any setting at all!
