Fueling Creativity in education
the Debrief
Debrief Episodes are a core experience of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast and a vital tool for bridging the gap between creativity research and classroom practice. Every three episodes, co-hosts Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood take a step back to reflect on key highlights from recent guest interviews. They connect these insights to previous episodes and draw from their own expertise as educators and creativity researchers, helping listeners apply these ideas in real-world educational settings.
Since Season 8, Debrief Episodes have been produced as videos, giving listeners the opportunity to see Matt and Cyndi in action as they explore emerging themes, share personal takeaways, and spark deeper discussions on creativity in education.
