More details can be seen by accessing this link or the one on the right hand side of this page.

A second edition was published in January 2008.

The second edition of 'Creativity in Primary Education', published in May 2009, included a chapter by Tony Eaude called 'Creativity and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development'.

Dr. Tony Eaude's D. Phil. thesis 'Beyond Awe and Wonder: how teachers of young children understand spiritual development' .

Forthcoming publications highlights one chapter to be published later in 2009.

It is hoped that a bibliography of books and articles on children's spiritual development, with a brief summary of the main position taken and issues raised will be developed in due course.

in the area of learning styles, learning environments and curriculum design

• a summary of the elements of research on which the courses draw;
• a list of issues for schools to consider, in self-evaluating their provision in these area, in developing a teaching and learning policy and in considering which elements of these courses will be most useful given their own context and stage of development;
• a bibliography of recommended reading with a brief summary of the main position taken and issues raised.

in the area of action research and teachers-as-researchers:

• references to sources suggesting relevant methodology in developing action research projects;
• advice on developing research questions and planning an initial audit;
• examples of some of the activities which the programmes cover, as examples both of the support needed and strategies offered;
• brief descriptions of previous projects led by Tony Eaude, including 'Leading Learners and Learning Leaders' and the Oxfordshire Middle Leaders project run in 2002/3;

which may, ultimately, be available on this website, but should be accessed by contacting Tony Eaude.
