What does it mean to be creative in teacher education programs in Western Canada? A phenomenological study

• In Event: TED - Creativity and Teacher Education

Short Description

Edward de Bono is quoted as saying “we need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience”. This interactive concurrent session has two objectives: to discuss research findings on teacher educator’s view of teaching for creativity and to have participants voice their understanding of creativity in hopes of starting a discussion that will break us free from our temporary mindsets of education.
