"It's Time to Get Serious About Creativity in the Classroom" by Jim Moulton
"freedom within a structure"
making the assignment clear and focused, but allowing real freedom in how the tasks will be accomplished
autonomy has limits
people will do over what they have already done
they will naturally seek what they have already received praise for and replicate it
In mathematics class, were the kids are taught a way, or the way, to solve a certain kind of problem?
let some freedom ring
the best teachers teach discrete skills in ways that allow diverse learners to become successful
provide the deeper learning activities in which real creativity is nurtured and developed
ask students to make use of their new skills to accomplish complex tasks
ask them to be creative in the application of their new-found skills
They have freedom to use their skills in any way they want, but they are asked to use them to complete an assigned task :star:
