support for your
Professional Learning Community
When we started the podcast, our mission was to promote creativity in learning. With over 200 episodes, we’ve shared actionable tips and best practices to inspire educators across the grades. Now, we’re focusing on supporting your Professional Learning Community (PLCs) by helping schools explore what creativity looks like and sounds like in their classrooms.
This page is designed to help your PLC facilitate essential skills and experiences that nurture creativity in teaching and learning. Through collaboration, open discussion, and a shared commitment to improving instructional practices, the content and resources on this page are designed specifically to facilitate discussion and guide specific practices dedicated to teaching creativity.
A Special Series for PLCs
This four-part podcast series was designed to empower Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in K–12 schools with practical strategies for teaching creativity and promoting creative teaching practices in the classroom.
Each short, focused episode sets up a targeted conversation for your PLC. You’ll hear curated highlights from interviews with leading creativity researchers and innovative educators—originally featured in Season 1 of Fueling Creativity in Education—paired with actionable guidance to support creativity in teaching and learning.
Co-hosts Matthew Worwood and Cyndi Burnett guide educators through key ideas, model how to lead rich PLC conversations, and provide prompts to turn insights into action. Whether you’re launching a PLC or looking to deepen your group’s exploration of creative teaching, this series helps you bring teaching creativity to life in your school.
