Let us Teach
creative skills
explicitly

According to Collard,
Creative skills arent
just about good ideas,
they are about having
the skills to make good
ideas happen.

He suggests
creative skills
should include 5
major areas:

Imagination
Being disciplined or selfmotivated.
Resiliency (able to return to
original form after being
stretched)
Collaboration
Giving responsibility to
students. Have them develop
their own projects.

ACTIVITY

ACTIVITY
