To engage and succeed, education has to develop on three fronts. 1. Foster diversity by offering a broad curriculum and encourage individualization of the learning process 2. Foster curiosity through creative teaching (which depends on high quality teacher training and development) 3. Focus on awakening creativity through alternative didactic processes (less emphasis on standardized testing thereby giving the responsibility for defining the course of education to individual schools and teachers.) Present education system in the US fosters conformity, compliance, and standardization rather than creative approaches to learning. Education is an organic system, not a mechanical one.

To engage and succeed, education has to develop on three fronts. 1. Foster diversity by offering a broad curriculum and encourage individualization of the learning process 2. Foster curiosity through creative teaching (which depends on high quality teacher training and development) 3. Focus on awakening creativity through alternative didactic processes (less emphasis on standardized testing thereby giving the responsibility for defining the course of education to individual schools and teachers.) Present education system in the US fosters conformity, compliance, and standardization rather than creative approaches to learning. Education is an organic system, not a mechanical one.

Connection (Ch.11: Interests, Curiosity, Emotions, and Anxiety) As part of your interview for a job in a large high school, the principal asks, “How would you get students interested in learning? Could you tap your interests in your teaching?”

Foster curiosity through creative teaching (which depends on high quality teacher training and development) 3. Focus on awakening creativity through alternative didactic processes (less emphasis on standardized testing thereby giving the responsibility for defining the course of education to individual schools and teachers.) Present education system in the US fosters conformity, compliance, and standardization rather than creative approaches to learning. Education is an organic system, not a mechanical one.

Connection (Ch.8: Defining Creativity) Creativity: Imaginative, original thinking or problem solving – Often involves more than one person – Happens when people apply their abilities as part of a helpful process in a supportive environment – Results in an identifiable product that is new and useful to a culture or situation

Connection (Ch.8: Big C Revolutionary Innovation) Innovators usually have encouragement from early childhood (Gardner) – Avoid pushing so hard that the child’s intrinsic passion to master a field becomes a craving for extrinsic rewards – Avoid pushing so hard that the child later looks back on a missed childhood – Avoid freezing the child into a safe, technically perfect way of performing that has led to lavish rewards – Be aware of the psychological wounds that can follow when the child who can perform becomes the forgotten adult who can do nothing more

Present education system in the US fosters conformity, compliance, and standardization rather than creative approaches to learning. Education is an organic system, not a mechanical one.

Connection (Ch.8: Assessing Creativity) Divergent Thinking: Ability to come up with many possible solutions (Convergent Thinking: Narrowing possibilities to a specific answer)
