Being Creative opens the door to imagination and looking at the world in new ways. Creativity is fundamental to what it means to be a successful teacher and a successful learner. Creativity defines how students engage in learning: asking the right questions to generate new ideas, evaluate information, and construct information in new ways. It defines how teachers engage in teaching: facilitating connections, leveraging technology and finding innovative ways to demonstrate concepts and assess learning. Creativity pushes our Board leadership to put new ideas into practice, to be adaptive, flexible and forward thinking.
