The concept of creativity presented in this book is one of connecting different frames of reference to create humour, discovery or works of art. It is about opening the mind to perceive things in alternative ways. The concept of creative teaching similarly is about using those connections to help children learn through a range of representations, teaching approaches and activities, which enable children to be active agents in their own learning.
