Tim’s best-selling book …

Available on Amazon

In Tim Kitchen’s book The Best Way to Learn is to Make, the emphasis on fostering creativity stands out amidst the growing societal pressures to prioritise explicit instruction, standardised testing, and a teacher-centered approach to education, all exacerbated by the rise of new technological frontiers like generative artificial intelligence. This work reflects Dr Kitchen’s deep resonance with influential figures such as Professor Seymour Papert and Sir Ken Robinson, whose insights have profoundly shaped his journey as an educator and EdTech consultant.

Drawing from his rich interactions with teachers and students worldwide, Dr Kitchen offers practical insights and Tips for Teachers in most chapters, providing simple yet effective strategies to nurture creativity across diverse curriculum areas and educational levels. These tips are designed to empower educators to engage their students creatively, regardless of subject or educational context.
