Teaching Conceptual and Creative Thinking
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson kept on beating the drum for radical change in schools this year. He keynoted the national Imagination Summit, and other education experts began thinking about how they could recapture the playful, creative energy of companies like Google and Pixar. Initiatives like the No Right Brain Left Behind challenge harnessed America's creative industries to develop ways for educators to teach soft skills like creativity and design thinking. The Imagination: Creating the Future of Education and Work project even created a lab to test ways for educators to effectively build imagination and creativity in the classroom.
