As educators we can enable creative environments that nurture learners to develop creativity skills!
Creativity is not just associated with the arts. It is the “generation of novel, useful ideas”
That means creativity is problem solving and that being the case, it means that it is a skill which can be taught.
We can enrich our classrooms by constructing creative environments where our learners thrive on problem solving to develop new, innovative ideas as part of their learning journey. As a teacher, the chances are that you already do this for your learners! Teachers are the most creative beings when it comes to developing lessons resources that deconstruct topics, scaffold and reassemble knowledge to help students learn.
Challenging learners to think creatively about a problem adds a really exciting and fun dimension to the process of learning. But what are the creative issues that we need to understand and how do we do it effectively? To understand the creative problems involved in introducing creativity into our classrooms, I have developed a podcast workshop for you. Check out episode 29 of the Inspiration 4 Teachers Podcast Show and discover:
