About This Webinar
How do we prepare students for jobs that don’t yet exist using technologies that haven’t even been invented? Today, change is constant, rapid, and unpredictable, so the most important skill we can teach students is effective imagination to enable them to adapt to the unexpected. Imagination is the source of all ideas and creativity, the one 21st century skill that is that is rarely taught or practiced. The debate on teaching creativity focuses on what the schools—teachers and administrators—need to do. However, students do not learn creativity by watching and listening. They learn by generating their own ideas and then exploring those ideas through trial and error. Teaching creativity is like teaching how to ride a bike—you can describe it or guide it, but eventually, each individual must learn to ride on their own.
In this seminar we will address:
- How to generate ideas
- How to design assignments to improve imagination
- How to assess creative progress
- How to improve your own imagination
- How to teach creativity
This seminar will inspire your own creativity in your life and in your classroom.
