Grounded in research and shaped by real-world application, this book bridges the science of creativity and the art of teaching. You will begin your journey with a crash course in creativity as a scientific field of study, and then explore the concept of “The Future Creative” and why students must engage in higher levels of creativity as they pursue solutions beyond the reach of AI.
Featuring ten cross-disciplinary creativity-fostering actions, you will find real-world stories and practical strategies adaptable for every grade level and subject. This book has everything you need to cultivate the transformational creativity that benefits both students and society.
