Cultivating Creativity in Classrooms
Episode description
How do we cultivate and unleash student creativity in our classrooms?
Right now it's happening on the peripheries. In makerspaces, STEM projects, electives, and arts/music/drama classes.
But how do we make creativity a core part of day to day learning? Building opportunities for students to tinker, build, create, and problem solve on a daily basis in ALL classrooms?
In this short episode, Adam Hill, STEM consultant and creativity guru teaches us how to achieve this through a few simple shifts in mindset and learning design.
We learn:
- How to transform existing units to be more hands-on
- How to bring the makerspace into our classrooms
- How to build creative mindsets and confidence with creativity
- How to get started
