My Action Plan
Development of Creativity
Developing 21st Century Approaches
By Kanwal HabibTCS Township Nursery
What is Creativity?Creativity means
generating outcomes that are original and of value. Originality may be in
relation to one’s previous experience, to a group or it may be uniquely original. Creative thinking is also
about judgment – our ability to judge the value of ideas and outputs.
We all have the capacity for creative thinking to;
generate and extend ideas
suggest hypotheses
apply imagination
look for alternative innovative outcomes
Just one belief….
Promoting creative thinking is a powerful way of engaging children with their learning.
Children who are encouraged to think creatively show increased levels of motivation and self esteem.
Creativity prepares them with the flexible skills they will need to face an uncertain future
Employers want people who are adaptable, innovative, can solve problems and communicate well with others.
Developing the capacity to be creative can enrich their lives and help them to contribute to a better society.
