Bridging the Gap: The Reluctant Creative, Multicultural Creativity, and Integrating Design Ethics
What were the biggest lessons learned during the first five episodes in Season Three of the Fueling Creativity podcast? In this Bridging the Gap episode, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood sit down and reflect on episodes that discussed reluctant creativity, inquiry-based learning, multi-cultural creativity, and integrating design ethics into the K-12 classroom.

Listen in as Cyndi and Matthew break down the following insights.

Major Takeaways from Season Three, Episodes 1-5:

  1. Creative competency. Seeing creative thinking as a competency is more powerful and, most importantly, addresses its application in the real world. It’s less about expressing the skill in the classroom and more about how you use and modify those skills in different environments.
  2. Reluctant Creativity. When the pandemic hit, teachers across the grades were thrown into challenging teaching environments. The reluctant creatives who were less likely to engage creativity under normal circumstances were forced to engage to overcome many of these instructional challenges.
