"This innovative Handbook examines creativity in schools, demonstrating how the teaching of creativity can be made systematic and intentional. Bringing together expert scholars, practitioners and policy-makers, it provides compelling case studies and effective methods that can be applied in educational jurisdictions across the world.

Evaluating strategic and practical approaches, this Handbook presents cutting-edge research into the implementation and development of creativity in schools.
