I hope you will explore the flaws and partial references to research in their main article and the incorrectness of the FORGET BRAINSTORMING article.
ReplyDeleteMany of us who studied with Torrance and/or have been involved with creativity development have found the main article highly missing leading and extremely overstated and lacking in much more valid researchers to interview.

Steve where can I find more information about the NATIONAL CREATIVITY NETWORK?
ReplyDeleteA Google.com search did not find a website and I am not famiilar with the organization and want to definitely know more about it.
Hi Alan - The National Creativity Network is something that will be launched at the World Creativity Forum in November. It's just been created, and I don't think there is much out there yet. But watch for it in the coming months ....
ReplyDeleteHi Alan - Though I realize there is much debate being generated from the article, the emphasis in this first half-hour interview is on the idea of "the creativity crisis" and the important role of creativity in education and society as a frame for the radio show, the World Creativity Forum and the National Creativity Network. Our aim is not to debate the finer points of the article here, but to build on the important recognition of Torrance's work and its relevance for society today in the broader creativity field. In the spirit of Appreciative Inquiry, we are focusing on what works and what's good to advance the cause of creativity, while recognizing there are other aspects to debate or improve. Thanks for continuing this important conversation and raising worthwhile dialogue -- all of which is well overdue in this country.
