creativity imagination culture
Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.
needs transformed
Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.
educational effectiveness elements
Finding your element is essential to your wellbeing and ultimate success and, by implication to the health of our organisations and the effectiveness of our educational systems
mean creative ifs
Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.
creativity school thinking
To realize our true creative potential - in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities - we need to think differently about ourselves and towards each other. We must learn to be creative.
creativity creative world
Private imaginings may have no outcomes in the world at all. Creativity does. Being creative involves doing something.
school ideas discipline
School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.
motivational learning creativity
Research indicates that, as long as we keep using our brains in an active way, we continue to build neural pathways as we get older. This gives us not only the ongoing potential for creative thought, but also an additional incentive for continuing to stretch ourselves.
creativity thinking imagination
Creativity, as I see it, is the process of putting your imagination to work. It's been defined rather simply as applied imagination. That's not a bad way to think about it.
motivational creativity writing
Creativity is very much like literacy. We take it for granted that nearly everybody can learn to read and write. If a person can't read or write, you don't assume that this person is incapable of it, just that he or she hasn't learned how to do it. The same is true of creativity.
life motivational money
Most people didn't pursue their passions simply because of the promise of a paycheck. They pursued them because they couldn't imagine doing anything else with their lives.
creativity thinking ideas
We think about the world in all ways we experience it ; we think visually, we think in sign, we think kinesthetically, we think in abstract term, we think in movement. Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value.
creativity thinking people
Creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy, and I actually think people understand that creativity is important - they just don't understand what it is.
school thinking keys
It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential-in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities-we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.
