Synopsis

Make Creativity The Center Of The Curriculum!

In our fast-changing world, the ability to think independently and innovatively is no longer a “nice extra”—it’s a survival skill. This book delivers surefire strategies for equipping learners across all grades and subjects with the motivation and critical thinking skills to thrive in our high-tech future.

Content includes:

  • Why “one right answer” instruction paradigms discourage critical thinking and risk-taking
  • Why merely using the latest technology class does not equate to teaching creatively
  • Projects and prompts that ask the question “So what does this mean in the classroom today?”
