Creativity - in oneself and in others can be having a great idea and running with it or sharing it with others and working together to develop it further. In helping others with creativity, I like to bounce ideas around and have them give input and therefore recognize that they are creative themselves. Creativity can be preplanned for the classroom but often it just happens and the lesson takes on a different, more creative direction. The students can spark creativity if we just listen and know that it is alright to have our lesson move in a different direction than we planned.
Creativity Comfort Levels

What successes have you had in pushing yourself to grow even more and encouraging others to promote creativity?
