Description
While teachers learn the importance of nurturing creativity in students, what do teachers know about their own creative practices? Classroom teachers were asked to reflect on what they were already doing that would increase the creativity of their students. Teachers studied data from the use of this reflective instrument to self-assess creativity in their instruction. This session for teachers, coordinators, and administrators of K-12 students describes current practices to promote creativity, as well as suggest strategies to enhance this well-recognized 21st century skill. The emphasis of this session is on self-assessment of best practices in implementing creativity.
