Creativity in the Classroom

For the past four years I have taught technology to students 12 to 16 in Tanganyika International School (IST) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Technology is a course of International Baccalaureate (IB) High School Program (MYP). This is a curriculum framework that focuses on the use of various technologies and principles of design and design cycle to foster "creativity and creativity, practical solution of design". It is work given by the program. "(IBO, 2012, group 8) I teach this course every year. I am constantly striving to respond to teacher 's applications from how we need to move to lead from the mentor to the design process. Surprised

The term "creativity" related to the classroom is beyond art and school. In the best case, creativity in the classroom is about how the teacher pulls students and motivates them to learn them. Teachers practicing art that develops creativity are focusing on the creation of classroom culture making full use of creativity. They inspired new ideas, cultivated student's creative spirit, and developed a series of strategies aimed at adapting and creating ideas based on the needs of their own curriculum. What we need is innovative education. Children need to experience unpredictable and uncertain things. They need a course that can produce surprises. As Fisher said, creative learners need a creative teacher who is willing to take risks by doing something unexpected and providing order and risk (Fisher, 2002).

More than a decade ago, the classroom was a very different world. As an English teacher at a junior high school around 20 years old, this class is my oyster. I am creative, and the classroom inside me in London became the center of critical thought. Each department's teacher can freely select the textbook recommended for the course. In this place, sullen and disadvantaged young people can find ways to combine Shakespeare with the fight of everyday life. This is where we read poetry covering the most common theme in their lives, and we use interesting activities to explore ways to manipulate languages ​​in the real world.

Spanish teacher Sam Nelson of Think Spanish School conducted a creative writing session inspired by the first day of the creative class training the following morning and discussed the bullfight from various angles. And they changed their poems into performances. He recorded the results and shared the results with other participants in the afternoon of the next day. Pay Managing Director Gwyn Wansbrough, who is in charge of developing creative classroom training, stated that time is most important to teachers. "We are focusing on building capabilities as soon as possible so that we can implement a creative community model in such a way as to meet the specific needs of the students and the cultural background they teach."
