I have three target audiences; students, pre-service and in-service teachers and the community of educational researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the first section I describe my practice. I believe that each student has a different learning profile when it comes to how information is received, processed and ultimately turned into knowledge. This section also acts as a memoir as I take the opportunity to acknowledge the people who have influenced my journey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second section, I delve into the academic literature to explore the theory of critical constructivism that underlies my practice which I encountered in my post-graduate studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the book focuses on how teachers can create space where students are encouraged to question, use their creativity and imagination, and learn from mistakes.
