CREATIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM
Creativity includes -- and is more than -- the arts. Creative thinking is a twenty-first century skill that applies to all subjects, all grade levels, and all ages. It is a skill that prepares students and adults for a rapidly changing world, where complex problems do not have pre-defined, easy solutions. Creativity involves creative and critical thinking skills that can be taught, practiced, and applied in all curriculums. In this workshop, you will:
- Explore what creativity is, who has it, and how to unleash more of it.
- Think about thinking ... and learn how to think in new ways.
- Learn and practice applied creative thinking skills.
- Discover styles and types of creative thinking within the creative process.
- Connect creativity to the classroom.
