WHAT YOU SAY

What is it? and can you teach it?

Sir Ken Robinson ("All Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education") has called upon schools to value creativity as much as literacy.  He maintains that if we are to educate today's young people to cope with the challenges of the future, then the ability to think creatively is an essential requisite.  This session explores what is meant by creativity and how it can be fostered in the classroom.

• What is creativity?

• Creativity and whole-brain thinking.

• Creativity across the curriculum.

• Classroom strategies to encourage creativity.

• Useful resources for developing creative thinking.

By negotiation, schools may prefer to explore this issue in a short series of after-school workshops.
