    A1: Creativity is the soul of the learning environment. It makes Ss want to learn #CAEdChat
  • SLOlifeKevin Sep 24 @ 11:08 PM EDT

    A1 Creativity is essential for an environment where students can take academic risks comfortably, #caedchat

    That is so true. If you plan for creativity you have open ended assignments. #caedchat
    In reply to @jenwagner

    A1: I think valuing creativity redefines the environment and helps us value diverse learners. It challenges Bell Curve mentality. #caedchat
  • merrydreynolds Sep 24 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    #caedchat A1 creativity allows you to engage students by incorporating their interests into the content
  • MRoarkPMP Sep 24 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    A1)I think creativity allows for S engagement, as they envision ways they can use the knowledge. Ts should be giving suggestions #caedchat
  • principledlady Sep 24 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    Late to the party. Leila here from Escondido #caedchat
  • christyn_a Sep 24 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    A1 Ts need to be creative when planning as well. Creativity when delivering a lesson is just as important as Ss being creative. #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Sep 24 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    It is so important to honor students' interests and strengths. #caedchat
    In reply to @merrydreynolds
  • ElaineKeeley Sep 24 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    Q1 creativity starts with the lesson design of a creative teacher who wants thinking producers in their classroom. #caedchat
  • aloah Sep 24 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    The PYP Curriculum offers lots of oppportunities to be creative, its one of the main attitudes, both for Ss and teachers #caedchat
  • Miss_Dean Sep 24 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    A1 Creativity is essential for SS & Ts. Many think they aren't creative but they are. I like this image. #caedchat
  • SLOlifeKevin Sep 24 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    I love that you used the word "value." I think some do not value it. They prefer complacency and obedience. #caedchat

    Very true. It also allows for more entry points for our diverse students. #caedchat

    A1: Creativity allows Ts to find ways to ensure ALL students are successful #CAEdChat

    A1 - creativity has been the center of my educational life for as long as I can remember https://t.co/mzgT8euySh #caedchat

    Q2 What prevents teachers from making creativity a priority in the classroom? #caedchat

    Never. https://t.co/1prC0ay7BC #caedchat
    In reply to @dshapp, @jenwagner
  • mattsterling01 Sep 24 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    A2: Fear. Before you really take the plunge yourself to be creative, asking someone else to do it is terrifying! #caedchat

    I'll put it on my calendar! It's always nice to have RL meet ups! #caedchat

    Hey hey #caedchat! Todd, Elem principal in CA...jumping in late but ready to go!
  • i4peace_sean Sep 24 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    A1: creativity is needed for true problem solving. This is the where relevant project based learning happens. #caedchat
  • christyn_a Sep 24 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    A2 Admins who expect all teachers at a grade level to teach the same way. #caedchat
  • principledlady Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A1:Creativity means different things to different people depending on cultural norms experienced and values. #caedchat
  • KVoge71 Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2: Pressure for performance on high stakes tests. Pacing guides, evaluations, etc. Lack of controlling where the lesson goes.#CAedchat
  • MsHaughs Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A1: Allowing Ss to think outside the box to solve problems, demonstrate understanding in a variety of ways... #caedchat
  • LSpencerEdD Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2: Fear that there won't be support from admin; Fear of "the test"; "Teach w/fidelity" at sake of all else. #CAEdChat
  • christyn_a Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    So true #caedchat
    In reply to @mattsterling01
  • SLOlifeKevin Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A1: Pacing guides and high stakes testing. #caedchat
  • julie_borgmann Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2 Variety of factors - can be DO mandates, lack of understanding, lack of support, #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2 I think some adults don't believe they are creative themselves. #caedchat
  • Miss_Dean Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2 Fear, maybe lack of resources/knowledge. Sometimes a lack of confidence. All people are creative in their own way! #caedchat
  • aloah Sep 24 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2 much admin stuff going on, too many phone calls& prep without help, just being tired. but C. requires just a mindset to start #caedchat
  • jenwagner Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 - admin, time, dictated curriculum, testing, class size, class set-up, teacher comfort, teacher knowledge, etc #caedchat

  • LSpencerEdD Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: Teachers need to feel supported, even if something fails #CAEdChat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    But can't we still be creative inside pacing guides and mandates? I know it is more challenging, but it is still possible. #caedchat
    In reply to @SLOlifeKevin
  • MrsChunsClass Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 a need to shift the mindset of school culture and community. This doesn't look like the "school" parents are familiar with #caedchat
  • WendelStephanie Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: fear of deviating from the safety of the TE, not being willing to risk failure #caedchat
  • HowardKiyuna Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: For me it's not having command of the content, fatigue, lack of time. Starting planning process w/Creative Template is hard #caedchat
  • julie_borgmann Sep 24 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    I AM that adult - love that my Ss get to show me how creative they can be compared to my "boring" ideas #CAedchat
    In reply to @AppEducationFox

  • merrydreynolds Sep 24 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    #caedchat A2- time! Required pre- created lessons
  • i4peace_sean Sep 24 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: a need to be in control can stop creativity. Comfort leads to safety. Creativity leads to vulnerability. That can be scary #caedchat
  • tsschmidty Sep 24 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    Absolutely!! And they are more likely to take those risks when they see their admin putting themselves out there! #caedchat
  • dshapp Sep 24 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2: Time is my constraint. However, when I get to stimulate my creativity with my PLN, I can make time! #caedchat

    We have left the recipe books and pacing guides of NCLB CCSS expects Ts to teach the Ss in front of them with quality planning. #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Sep 24 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    Everyone is creative. In fact, I believe we are born creative. That our creative confidence gets chipped away at the older we get. #caedchat

  • LSpencerEdD Sep 24 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    Yes - admin must model the behaviors we want to see in our teachers. Then they will model it for students. #CAEdChat
    In reply to @tsschmidty
  • WendyLRouse Sep 24 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2. Fear of deviating from the norm and fear of taking risks by trying new teaching strategies can stifle teacher creativity. #caedchat

    So true. #caedchat
    In reply to @i4peace_sean
  • MsHaughs Sep 24 @ 11:18 PM EDT

  • i4peace_sean Sep 24 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    Yes! A creative person learns to think creatively inside the box #caedchat
    In reply to @AppEducationFox, @SLOlifeKevin

    That is true. Some Ts think when you are doing something creative you are "showing off." Such a strange mindset, isn't it? #caedchat
    In reply to @MRoarkPMP
  • tsschmidty Sep 24 @ 11:19 PM EDT

  • teachseuss Sep 24 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    A2:prescribed curriculum, timelines, fear-to try/to do something different or new/no one else is doing, unknown, #caedchat
  • jenwagner Sep 24 @ 11:20 PM EDT
    A2 - many teachers equate creativity with messy or chaos -- so they put up the stop sign w/out even trying #caedchat

  • WendelStephanie Sep 24 @ 11:43 PM EDT

    A6 they love it. SS area constantly asking me "can I put that on @Seesaw " or "can I really choose my activity" they love it #caedchat
  • MrsChunsClass Sep 24 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A6 Ss can be shocked or look at me like they're getting away with something. They don't know its all part of my master plan. 😂 #caedchat
  • aloah Sep 24 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A6 very happy to finally express themselves in ways they like, happy that there are no restrictions just guidelines, at peace #caedchat
  • jenwagner Sep 24 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A6 - sometimes timidly because they want to "hit the mark" - but also the "miss Wagner come see" exclamations about their work #caedchat
  • i4peace_sean Sep 24 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A6: at first they are unsure, but as their creative confidence builds, they start to be who they were designed to be #caedchat
  • HowardKiyuna Sep 24 @ 11:45 PM EDT

  • akalo2017 Sep 24 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    Yes! I believe that teachers shouldn't limit assignments in just one format. More freedom gives opportunities to explore! #caedchat

  • WendelStephanie Sep 24 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    A6: sadly they react w/ disbelief. Too often we program kids to believe school = a short answer on a worksheet #caedchat
  • tsschmidty Sep 24 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    Some I was asked to join, others I came across via Twitter...surprisingly, in-person conferences are where I find most! #CAEdChat

    A6 accepted. as human beings and not as students who are in a hierarchical structure below teachers. #caedchat
  • ucijp Sep 24 @ 11:47 PM EDT
    A2. Some Ts get too comfortable and don't try to change. Teaching tech means that I can never get comfortable or risk losing Ss. #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Sep 24 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A6 I remember the feeling when I was a kid when we did creative activities. I don't remember the other stuff too much. #caedchat

  • ucijp Sep 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT

  • HowardKiyuna Sep 24 @ 11:51 PM EDT

  • KVoge71 Sep 24 @ 11:52 PM EDT
    A7 Google Drawing's been a great tool for Ss to practice creating visually appealing projects.Teach the basics, then they are off! #caedchat
