“Children are tough, though we tend to think of them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize children, but they know what’s real and what’s not. They understand metaphor and symbol. If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous. Grown-up lives have become overlaid with dross.”

Maurice Sendak

“We’ve got to prepare young people for living in the 21st century, and we’ve got to get them thinking from a very young age. Children are exposed to so much technology that they need something extra and we need to be ready to provide that.”

"Housed in a five-storey building, the school's facade was multicoloured and the foyer guarded by a life-size papier mache lion. Step inside and what hit you first was the smell of "hippy food" - pulses and stews - Christie says. Then there was the noise. "Effing and blinding" was de rigueur among the children, who decided they were to be called "kids" rather than pupils."

"We tend to focus on the product rather than the process. By removing the possibility of there being a successful product we can force students to focus on the process of learning. They will start to see that understanding and valuing the process will lead to the creation of better products and they will begin to see that it doesn’t matter if at first you don’t succeed: you can always fail better in the future." The art of failing, David Didau

Ron Berger from Expeditionary Learning demonstrates the transformational power of models, critique, and descriptive feedback to improve student work. Here he tells the story of Austin's Butterfly. 1st grade students at ANSER Charter School in Boise, ID, helped Austin take a scientific illustration of a butterfly through multiple drafts toward a high-quality final product. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- (This was shown to KS1 students by their teacher during a lesson I observed and participated in, the students took back their original work and produced second and third attempts to constructively better their learning. I also witnessed students helping one another to learn through practical and encouraging discussions they were having in the groups they were sitting)

Central to the Storybox philosophy is the belief that creative participation can improve wellbeing and reduce social isolation for people with dementia. The belief that creativity can be incorporated into the day-to-day care of older people and that everyone should have the opportunity to try new things and be culturally active throughout their lives - See more at: http://homemcr.org/project/storybox/#sthash.tDDEpHRs.dpuf
