Creativity is the ability to produce ideas that are new and useful, and it can be developed like any other skill. Employers rank it among the abilities they most want, yet many students meet it in school only in art class, and testing pressure can leave little room for it elsewhere.
edCircuit's coverage is written for teachers and school leaders who want to make room for it. It asks whether creativity can be taught and why it should be, explains how the brain produces creative ideas and why motivation matters, offers ways to build students' creative confidence, and looks at imagination, play and the arts as part of learning in every subject.
