Description

Education is too important to be taken seriously: everyone in our schools from the youngest learner to the 'most senior' teacher likes to laugh. And beyond the many stress-busting and morale-boosting benefits that laughter brings on an individual level, the collective rewards of laughter in the classroom setting are also numerous such as enhancing openness and teamwork, stimulating imagination and creativity and, above all, strengthening the student teacher relationship. No one is more familiar with the power of classroom conviviality than stand-up educationalist Dave Keeling, who in this book takes readers on an enlightening journey into the part that humour can play in improving the learning experience for all concerned.
