How do you teach students how to be creative? In this episode, you'll learn what research has to say about teaching for creativity. The surprising message is that we need to completely change the way we think about teaching and learning. We need to teach creative knowledge instead of shallow knowledge. We need to move from instructionist methods to a new pedagogy called guided improvisation. This episode is for every teacher, not just the art teachers, because in today's world, students need to be prepared to be creative in everything they do. After all, people are creative in specific subjects and disciplines and art forms. How can we change the way we teach in every subject, so that students learn the kind of knowledge that prepares them to be creative in that subject? This episode shows you how to create a Creative Classroom.
