Developing Creativity in Education
Developing Creativity in Schools
- Introducing innovative teaching methodologies that enhance creativity and critical thinking, helping schools transform traditional learning environments.
- Implementing arts-integrated curricula that help elevate students' engagement, agency and performance, based on proven success models.
- Conducting teacher training workshops focused on creative pedagogies, empowering educators to foster a culture of innovation.
With a focus on adaptive change, I collaborate with school leadership teams, students and staff to cultivate bespoke environments where creativity can thrive. Working in partnership with school communities to help inspire and guide through transformative practices, emphasizing the value of making space for creative approaches into the fabric of different school cultures. Work in this area always aims to empower young people, educators and leaders to navigate and embrace change, nurturing communities where innovation and creative problem-solving are at the heart of educational excellence.
