[Leader U: 2023] Creative Classrooms: Inspiring Minds

This session discusses the use of creativity, collaboration and convergence in school lessons to inspire pupil learning and development. Being creative often involves breaking rules, challenging assumptions, taking issue with convention, questioning tradition. By contrast, schools are concerned with order and structure, represented by such things as bells, timetables, uniforms, assemblies, rules. It is understandable then why they have to function in this way, but it establishes a mind-set that makes it hard to step outside the norms. Moreover, the modern word is evolving faster, with technology playing an increasingly more important role. As technology develops and converges, providing organizations with more and more automation, the next generation will be increasingly depended upon for creative roles.
