Unit 4: Dreaming Up the Future
Navigation Links:
Welcome to our final unit in our course, Teaching for Creativity, in which we will be "dreaming up the future." We'll be putting everything we've learned into practice, and discussing what the education system could look like if it was suited better for creativity development.
Upon completing this unit, participants will be able to:
- Redesign an existing lesson plan to promote creative thinking among students
- Implement teaching for creativity strategies into their own lessons
Lesson 1: Putting Ideas into Actions
In this lesson, we'll be practicing how to adapt already created lessons to include an element of teaching for creativity. Then, we'll try our hand at adapting one of our own lessons.
In this lesson, we'll look at one researcher's theories on how to better organize schools to develop student creativity. We'll finish with another TED Talk to reiterate everything we've learned about creativity.
