Bridging the Gap: Lessons Learned from Season Two (Part 1)
What were the biggest lessons learned so far in Season Two of the Fueling Creativity podcast? In this episode, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood sit down and have a debrief to reflect on the first 5 episodes of Season Two, highlighting the key takeaways and major lessons these conversations have taught them about creativity and education. Listen in as Cyndi and Matthew break down the following insights. Major Takeaways from Season Two, Episodes 1-5: 1. Heightening anticipation for students increases engagement and excitement about learning any content. Learn more about creating “hooks” in the classroom, by listening to the episode with Dr. Sally Reis and read about the Torrance Incubation Model. 2. There is immense value in identifying interests from an early age . It’s important to note that having too many interests may make it difficult to focus on one. Additionally, it may be hard for students to develop interests, so don’t force it. Simply help your children or students explore different areas and see what sparks curiosity. 3. Think about the future, and the skills that your students/children may need. For more information on this, listen to the episode with Jonathan Nadler. 4. Human-centered education, or personalized learning, focuses on what each individual student needs to be successful, rather than treating everyone as though they have the same needs. To learn more, listen to the episode with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman.   Resources Mentioned: Read about the Torrance Incubation Model. 20 Lessons to Weave Creative Thinking into Your Curriculum Listen to the episode with  Jonathan Nalder Listen to the episode with  Dr. Sally Reis.  Listen to the episode with Leon Tynes.
