Presentation "The influence of the teachers’ creative potential on the development of their students’ creativity”

“Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world”.-Brene Brown. The influence of the teachers’ creative potential on the development of their students’ creativity”

Developing creativity is not an easy option. Creativity poses challenges.

Creativity has been compared to a muscle. Train!

Give a child pencils and paper and you teach him or her how to sing. That’s how they learn to be creative.

We have no need of expensive equipment. The less we have, the more we make of it.

The core idea of ‘making something new’ is at the heart of creativity. Make something NEW!

Some ways lay the foundations for a creative climate. Create favourable conditions for creativity.

You should establish a relaxed, non-judgemental atmosphere, where students feel confident enough to let go and not to worry that their every move is being scrutinised for errors. Establish a relaxed atmosphere.

We need to become part of the group. Be a role model!

Listen without pre-judgements to what they say or try to say. And offer support. Learn to listen carefully.

What power! What working together! What a memorable sound! What a positive lesson!

Teaching is based on knowledge, professional understanding, technical know-how and the personal qualities of the teacher. Without creativity students might as well be taught by robots.

We need not expect to feel great while we create nor, necessarily, to be lauded by our colleagues for our creations!Does it feel good to create?

Teachers are given very little opportunity to think outside the box. Inside the box…

Show your students how to think outside the box. Outside the box…
