Description

The Parents Guide is where you ll find out what's going on in schools today and hear some of the key issues being discussed from the parents point of view. Presenter, Fiona Millar, says If you have school-aged children, this programme is for you. In this programme we join Fiona and two parents, Nicky McGirr and John Preston, together with education consultant Dr Marilyn Fryer, to discuss creativity in primary schools. We look at some Teachers TV programmes and see how creativity is being addressed by teachers, pupils and, of course, parents. What does an inspirational art lesson look like? Can music be taught satisfactorily without specialist music teachers? Can computer games be good for learning, let alone creativity? Where should the balance lie between creativity and traditional approaches to learning? How can parents get involved?You can hear the views of parents and gain an insight into what other schools are doing - then have your say by emailing parents@teachers.tv.
