2 to 6. Inspiring minds
Inspirational Teachers Inspirational Learners Will Ryan ISBN: 9781845904432
www.crownhouse.com
£18.99
This book tries to work out what inspirational teachers do differently. Many teachers who join the teaching profession do so because they were taught by inadequate teachers and they feel they can provide a far better and more exciting education for youngsters than they received themselves. Whereas other teachers speak with clarity of detail about stimulating and influential teachers who inspired their lives and now they want to do the same. This book is an examination
of what our most inspirational teachers do in order to get creative and inspirational responses from children. It aims to put fun back into teaching, provide a framework for creativity in the 21st century and act as a book of hope for the new curriculum proposals. Will Ryan has worked in
schools in Rotherham, South Yorkshire for over 30 years as a teacher, headteacher and local authority adviser. As a headteacher he led a school that prized itself on genuine pupil
creativity and was described by Ofsted as “outstanding”.
