Examples reveal how teachers can transform the way education is understood in schools, by relating stories of how they learned about their own gifts and talents. The book explains recent key developments in multimedia representations of social and emotional aspects of learning. These permit the multi-sensory gifts and talents of individual learners to be recognised and developed within a process that enhances the emotionally literate space of enquiring classrooms.

Gifts, Talents and Education assumes a capability approach to human development which rests on enabling individuals to realise their gifts and talents within a co-created sense of the common good. The book offers values, skills and understanding as concepts that retain a direct connection with practice. The stories are grounded in the lives of practitioner researchers who show the lived meanings of these ideas as they are realised in practice, asking questions such as ‘how do I improve what I am doing?’ and ‘how do I live my values more fully in practice?’.

This practical resource shows how creative and philosophical thinking can be developed in the everyday classroom. Part one describes the authors evolving ideas and practices of creative and philosophical thinking. Part two gives details about why these are seen as important, how to get going and suggests some ideas on how you might want to develop these practices further. This publication will help you develop: * Playful and experimental thinking outside the box * The ability of your children to pose questions that are important to them and create answers that are reasoned and reasonable * Children''s awareness and appreciation of themselves and others as knowledge creators * Children''s confidence and ability to challenge their own thinking and the status quo * Children''s ability to create options for themselves within constraints and to be open to opportunities * Children''s learning to learn about themselves * Teacher''s researching to understand and improve their own practice

This book explores a value-based research methodology, Living Educational Theory Research (LETR), which aligns a values-based approach with key tenets of professional development to inform and inspire future educators’ practice.

Written by world-leading scholars in the field of LETR, the chapters are global in reach and promote the evolving and dynamic nature of the methodology and its application with real-world professional training within higher education. Through discussion and dialogue on the evolution of Living Educational Theory Research, the chapters explore topics such as professional development and community-based contexts, supporting academics wishing to improve their practice by placing the theory within a scholarly paradigm to legitimise its use for scholarly learning.

Demonstrating how insights from disciplines such as philosophy, sociology and psychology are integrated within the generation of living-educational-theories, this outwardly looking volume will appeal to postgraduate students, scholars and researchers involved with educational theory, action research and other forms of practitioner research, and education research methods more broadly.
