🔎 Being inquisitive is important for everyone in the learning environment, leaders, teachers and learners alike, but it's a skill that's often inadvertently stifled when there's concern about taking risks or a tick-box culture... #EduSky

This month’s Creativity, Arts & Culture in Education welcomes a brilliant guest: Dr Laurence Dubé-Rushby! Hosted by me, @cceengland.bsky.social & @penahay.bsky.social, @bathspauni.bsky.social. Join us online 8 July, 4.30pm (BST). #CreativityInEducation www.ticketsource.co.uk/creativity-c...

We believe that creativity in education ignites unlimited possibilities. We want to build wonder-filled communities where everyone can think – and be – creative. What does a wonder-filled community bring to mind for you? Tell us in the comments below ⬇️ #Education #Creativity #EduSky

I feel it often comes when we are intentional & purposeful in seeking out places where it can occur. Last year, we adjusted some module tasks in our literacy curriculum to incorporate art & STEM, allowing for a more creative range of final products. #EduSky

We often hear, “I’m not creative, I teach history.” But creativity isn’t subject-specific. It’s thinking in new ways, seeing patterns, and exploring possibilities. 💬 Where have you seen creativity shine in unexpected parts of your curriculum? #EduSky #Education #Creativity

We're having a fantastic day in Manchester at one of our roundtable events, making (and building on) connections, and having important, exciting discussions! 🐝

When every student is expected to fly the same way, creativity stays static and grounded. We're here to support school leaders in integrating creative thinking into education, helping every child soar to new heights, in school and beyond. ✨🧠🎨 How do you encourage creativity to take flight? #EduSky

Environment shapes behavior. A classroom that encourages creativity often looks different: Writable walls. Flexible spaces. Materials to build, sketch, or dream. 💬 What does a creativity-friendly classroom look like to you? Share a photo of your favourite creative space in your classroom!

“We need to create a climate for a way of being. Get people on the inside (of our schools and organisations) on board” @lfct.bsky.social roundtable, Cardiff, with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social @alisonpeacock.bsky.social Welsh Government and Arts Council Wales. @cceengland.bsky.social

Our current mission is for creativity to be part of every learning organisation and every system so that every learner, teacher, and leader can thrive, because creative and confident children and young people are the key to changing the world for the better.

This outcome is a testament to Cragside’s confident, relational, reflective, and outward-looking creative leadership. We’ve learned a huge amount from working with them, and we’re intrigued to see where their journey leads next!

Want to be the catalyst for change in your school, but don't know where to begin? It starts with small changes. This week, challenge students to solve a problem without using the obvious tools. Think cardboard instead of computers. Doodles instead of diagrams. Be the change. 💡 #EduSky

🌅 Monday evening plans? This month, we’re exploring one of the least talked-about creative sub-habits: intuition. That gut feeling we ignore at our peril.

With @artscouncilengland.bsky.social funding we are using this framework to understand how Speech Bubbles supports children's creative development.

Grateful @cceengland.bsky.social to be in our fourth year of walking alongside the brilliant team at Cragside Primary School. "Pupils thrive in this nurturing and aspirational school." This opening line from their latest Ofsted report says it all.

The Creative Habits framework is the way we at Creativity, Culture and Education define and set a shared vocabulary for creativity. This is not the only definition of creativity but it's a starting point for educators and settings around the world to embed creativity in educational settings.

Leading for Creative Thinking: online community meet-up #11 How does intuition shape our creative leadership? 📅 19 May 2025 🕖19:00 - 20:00 (BST) Book your place: leadingforcreativethinking.org/events/leadi... @lfct.bsky.social

Creativity in learning ignites unlimited possibilities. CCE wants to build wonder-filled communities where everyone can be creative, using the power of creativity to connect learners’ hearts and minds and change their lives, their communities and their world. 🌎

Join me and a panel of incredible speakers at the launch of the International Arts and Imagination Network (IAIN) tomorrow (24 April), online, 2-3pm BST. ℹ️ For more information and to register free, follow this link: www.bathspa.ac.uk/projects/int... @cceengland.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social

Our Creative Habits framework is a formative assessment tool that not only helps pupils develop creative capabilities over time, but also aids teachers and leaders in schools to notice and reflect on their own creativity.

Happy World Creativity and Innovation Day 🌍 💫 From learning to leading, from the Arts to STEM, from knowledge to capabilities, from education to industry, from children to adults; the thread of creativity has powerful potential for each one of us. Illustration by @tbrookerart.bsky.social

For almost two decades and in over 20 countries, CCE have been transforming education globally through nurturing creative thinking. 🌍 Learn more about our projects and how we’re making a difference: www.creativitycultureeducation.org/services/our...

"One cannot think creatively unless one has the knowledge with which to think creatively. Creativity represents a balance between knowledge and freeing oneself of that knowledge." - Philip Johnson-Laird. Illustration by @tbrookerart.bsky.social

What if, instead of fearing uncertainty, we learned to work with it and what can the humanities and artists teach us about embracing it? Join us online this Wed 19 March, 16.30 (GMT) with @margaretheffernan.bsky.social as we discuss her new book and apply the principles! Register: bit.ly/43S24l5

"Challenging the status quo requires courage and curiosity" - @niarichards.bsky.social By focussing on embedding creativity, our work empowers students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways and come up with creative solutions. Find out more: www.creativitycultureeducation.org

We transform education by developing, testing and scaling creative approaches that stick, with high-quality professional learning front and centre. 🌍 Curious to find out how we do it? Visit www.creativitycultureeducation.org/services/how...

"Creativity" often conjures up images of a solitary artist, furiously scribbling or sketching out their ideas. Much of the time however, collaboration has occurred in this process, even if unknowingly or in short amounts. Even by showing others our work or asking for feedback, we're collaborating.

We can't underestimate the power of connection, not only between teacher and student, leader and teacher but also between schools and parents, and the wider community. Each star is a vital part of the constellation, and when they're in alignment, each one seems to shine brighter. ⭐

Last month on LinkedIn we asked if you think it's possible for children to learn creatively in the current education model. Out of the 22 people who responded, 68% said no, it's not possible. Today we're asking: why do YOU think this might be?

This activity invites you to reflect on how scientists think, consider the overlap with the five Creative Habits and design professional learning that will encourage those teaching science or running afterschool science or engineering clubs, to embed creativity in their work. lnkd.in/e-D2Hphj
