bridging the gap
where it started
Like so many other podcasters, we started our journey during the pandemic. At first, we called the show Fueling Creativity because we wanted to emphasize the idea of a conversation about creativity shared during a cup of morning expresso. However, we quickly recognized the need to emphasize that our focus of conversation was toward teaching and learning environments, so we extended the title of our podcast to include the word, education.
We identified the tagline, Bridging the Gap, because we saw a disconnect between the knowledge generated from the field about creativity and the unique ways teachers and administrators are working to promote, nurture, and design effective ways to encourage and develop creativity in the classroom.
We get challenged to articulate our audience, and from our perspective, we think many of our episodes focus on the intellectually curious educator or the emerging scholar who wants to learn more about creativity and education and, more specifically, utilize ideas and an experienced knowledge base to support their creative efforts in teaching and scholarship.
