Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction What is Creative Thinking? Ability Attitude Process

Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction Creative thinking is the creation or generation of ideas, processes, experiences, or objects.

Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction To be creative means to see the world and to see it in a way that is different from others. Thinking in this manner leads to innovation.

Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction Edward DeBono believes… “...many highly intelligent people are bad thinkers --- Thinking is the driving skill with which each individual drives his or her intelligence.” (Edward DeBono’s Mind Power, 1995)

Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction Standardized tests use individual student performance to provide one measure of school achievement. – These tests are highly publicized measures of school success. – Thus, schools tend to "teach to the test" and to educate children to be test takers.

Teaching Creative Thinking Introduction Is test preparation all that students need to learn? Are we adequately preparing students for the future? We have moved into an economy driven by ideas and innovation. Are we providing students the opportunity to develop creativity?

Teaching Creative Thinking Rationale for Creative Thinking Research indicates 81 percent of corporate leaders in America say "creativity is an essential skill for the 21st-century workforce.” Business leaders seek individuals who exhibit creativity and other skills such as collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, and oral communication.

Teaching Creative Thinking Rationale for Creative Thinking Many of the skills necessary in the workforce require the ability to think creatively and the ability to use creative problem solving. Creativity is essential in today's world. Students must be provided creative thinking opportunities if they are to become innovative leaders of tomorrow.

Teaching Creative Thinking Can creative thinking be taught? Ask more open-ended questions Encourage varied student responses Teach explicit skills

Teaching Creative Thinking Can all students become Mozarts? The creative output of one student should not be compared to the creative output of others.
