WEBINAR | Demystifying Creativity
Ever since Ken Robinson famously claimed that education kills creativity, schools have been increasingly pressured to engender creative growth amongst students. Unfortunately, those people who demand we focus on creativity often struggle to clearly explain what this cognitive process is or how it can be cultivated. During this session, we will start by clearly exploring what creativity is and how it functions. From there, we will debunk the 5 most prevalent myths of creativity (good news: you don't lose creativity as you age!) then consider what this all means for engendering creativity within schools. Together we will attempt to answer the question: are schools really killing creativity?
Date: August 29
Time: 3:30 PM
Presenters: Jared Horvath, Ph.D., M.Ed., Principal, LME Global
