Conclusion
Overall, it shows that the five different creative approaches do play an important part of a child’s education. The creative approach I found and believed to be the most effective is the outdoor classroom, as this can also link within the four other creative approaches. The outdoor classroom promotes creativity and imagination, freedom, learning about the world and giving the child independence. Furthermore, outdoor classroom can also promote many health benefits such as; good health and well-being, let off steam, and prevent illnesses.
All the five approaches benefit the child now and later on in life, as it can help them explore and investigate their surroundings, problem solve, work as teams, and it will develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them and how it works.
For example, the Mantle of the Expert promotes creativity and imagination, as well as them problem solving, investigating, and working alongside others in the class. However, I do feel that the Mantle of the Expert would be more benefical to children in primary school, rather than secondary school.
