Creativity Is Everywhere! Including in Teachers with Vincent Andrews
Is creativity hiding in plain sight in your classroom?
Listen in to hear how the humanities transformed Vincent’s outlook on life and learn his unique approach to cultivating creativity in an art-centric classroom, as well as other domains that are more content-driven. He then details how to use incubation in the creative process to encourage students to solve problems and use their creativity each and every day.
Plus, he speaks on the specific experiences that are critical to cultivating creativity in education and how teachers can begin to prioritize and grow their own creativity.
Vincent’s Tips for Teachers and Parents:
- Dive deep into what creativity actually is. There are so many resources out there that you can reference and incorporate into your curriculums!
- Look into your lesson plans and see how you can implement creative processes each day, not just once in a blue moon.
- Creativity doesn’t just happen in the arts. Show your kids what creativity means and how they can use it on a daily basis in any environment.
