MarvinByrd Oct 5 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3 It is an essential part of the unwritten curriculum that helps Ss experience success in the assessed curriculum as well as life #moedchat

mrnickcusumano Oct 5 @ 10:25 PM EDT

I think giving students some limits and/or paramaters helps become more creative and think different solutions.#moedchat

El_FrinkELA Oct 5 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3: Yes but I don't really believe it needs to or can be taught; it needs to be fostered & not killed by our teaching. #moedchat

JoveStickel Oct 5 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3 we need to teach what creativity is and give strategies on how to build it #moedchat

MOedchat Oct 5 @ 10:32 PM EDT

Q4 Can you actually teach creativity? #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 5 @ 10:32 PM EDT

The thing is that if we don't teach and model creative process, Ss lose the ability to be creative AT ALL. Schools do this daily #moedchat

A4- I think in certain respects, yes, but more in the tools or ideas to feed off of, if that makes sense. #moedchat

A5 Encourage a fail forward mindset, also encourage a disregard of opposing ideas, teach them to do what think is best #moedchat
