My Thoughts of Creativity in the Classroom

Learning a specific skill set doesn’t have the value in today’s world that it once did. Learning how to be more creative and more hands on is what prepares students for life beyond the classroom. I think it is great that other schools and businesses throughout the world are latching onto this idea. Academia has started to embrace providing courses in creativity and that is great ! Creativity is no longer seen as just being for artists and musicians. It’s a crucial skill for everybody to master. Introducing more creativity into your classroom and assignments doesn’t have to make your job harder. It can actually make it a lot more interesting. Having to go home to a stack of dull papers to grade was never anyone’s favorite part of teaching. Giving assignments that require more creativity will likely result in more engaging work for your students, and a more entertaining grading process for you.
