ESS 30613 - Creativity in the Classroom

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

Creativity is traditionally considered a valuable classroom commodity in teachers and students--but how is it fostered? Why is creativity associated with gifted students? Is it possible for creativity to flourish in an era of mandated curriculum and an emphasis on proficiency testing? What academic experiences inspire your creativity? To investigate these questions, we will examine theories of creativity, and apply them to examples of learning and instruction. The course content will also include articles on integrating work and play in classroom environments as well as the development of talent. This is an education-focused course.
