A book by Dr. Atara Isaacson: Creative Methods in Teaching and Learning Fostering Teacher-Student Success
This book explores teaching methods that foster creative thinking among students across various disciplines. It presents effective experiments conducted in workshops with both practicing teachers and pre-service teachers, and it aims to modernize existing teaching approaches to better align with the needs of the twenty-first century. The central argument is that adopting such methods will generate interest and engagement for both learners and educators while also positively influencing teacher–student relationships and student achievement. The book seeks to clarify and redefine the role of the teacher as an influential and formative figure, even as this role has evolved. Modern educators are expected to provide a gateway to diverse and multifaceted learning, guiding young learners on how to learn and navigate the vast and rapidly expanding body of knowledge available in our time
