        Podcast

   The Bloomsbury Academic Podcast
   is more than just a book talk. Each
   episode is its own unique forum,

   in today’s culture, both in academia
   and beyond. This show is for everyone
   interested in expanding their learning
   outside the classroom and exploring
   the difficult discussions taking
   place in society every day.

                   Growing out of recent pedagogical developments
in creative writing studies and perceived barriers to teaching it
in secondary education schools, this book creates conversations
between secondary and post-secondary teachers aimed at
introducing and improving creative writing instruction in teaching
curricula for young people.
With attention given to creative writing within the current standards-
based educational systems, this book confronts and offers solutions
to the perceived difficulty of teaching creative writing in such
environments. Divided into two sections, section one sees post-
secondary instructors address pedagogical techniques such as
workshops, revision, and assessment, whilst section two explores
activities and practical approaches to instruction.
