Until now there has been no single text bringing together the significant literature that explores the dimensions of creative learning, despite the work of artists in schools and the development of a cadre of creative teaching and learning specialists.

The concept of creative learning extends far beyond arts-based learning or the development of individual creativity. It covers a range of processes & initiatives throughout the world that share common values, systems & practices aimed at making learning more creative. This applies at individual, classroom or whole school level.
