EDC 674 Teaching Creativity, Creatively

This course provides teachers with the knowledge and skills to nurture creativity in their students. The course consists of three parts. Part I defines creativity and describes behaviors most often associated with creative behavior. In addition, a model is systematically developed that teachers may use to develop creative lessons. The model includes four components: catalyst to action, incubation, process(es), and outcomes. Part II elaborates each part of the model by adding and covering topics that range from finding problems to critical thinking. Each topic is functionally related to model components. Part III emphasizes the application of the model to lesson development and teaching creatively.
