Creativity

I was inspired by a blog post on A Principal's Reflections: Creativity Fuels Innovation, by Eric Sheninger.
When I think of the project work we are developing, I can not help to think about the potential for creativity and innovation that we are affording our students. This type of curricular experience can allow students to focus on strengths and identify passions. Once these strengths and passions are identified, a student can use them to overcome or compensate for areas that may be considered a weakness. This shift in focus allows for the development of creative and innovative thinkers, problem solvers, and citizens.



As Eric suggests, I am also hoping the video above can become a catalyst for a more detailed discussion on the following: How can we ensure our curricular work nurtures creativity and innovation.  What has to be done to transform our schools in a way that embraces creative instructional strategies and thought amongst learners?
