Description
In a global environment characterized by constant and accelerating changes, many educators recognize that creative problem-solving and critical-thinking skills are essential competencies for today’s students. Creativity programs such as Destination ImagiNation and Future Problem Solvers purport to teach these skills; however, as scant research exists demonstrating the effectiveness of these creativity programs in teaching skills associated with creativity, comprehensive evaluations documenting program outcomes become crucial. Using a recent evaluation of the Destination ImagiNation program as a model, this session provides a multi-modal model for evaluating creative problem-solving program outcomes and impacts.
