A child can excel in his studies or be brilliant in playing sports. But acquiring creativity is the most difficult and depends on many things. We value creativity in music, technology, art, entertainment, etc. Creativity is desired because it embellishes each presentation and makes it easier for us to understand.
Creativity depends on the imaginative power of a person. The more the person imagines, the more creativity will flow from his head. It exercises all brain cells and activates them. History has shown how imagining creative things has led to the greatest innovations in the future.
Creativity in schools
Most of the public schools in our country function as a machinery factory that produces students at the end of the day with a grade stamp on their result. If this mechanical learning process of public schools is not aligned with global schools, it will hamper the present and the future of the student.
There is always room for a little creativity in the confines of the classrooms. But most classes work on the historical processes of a teacher who teaches the books assigned according to the students’ curriculum and goes no further. This is no one’s fault as it has been an ongoing process for a long time. Today, to make learning more interactive and engaging, teachers can shape their curriculum to allow students to express their creativity in front of their peers.
Here are four things that will help teachers establish a creative curriculum for their students in their classrooms:
-
Setting up activities according to the students’ academic program will make students explore their creativity in a relevant way.
-
After a student gives their creative responses, demotivating them if they say something bad is not right. All students like to be rewarded with compliments for their hard work.
-
Apart from academics, schools should also focus on teaching extracurricular activities. This will bring out the creative talents of many other students who may not necessarily excel academically, but are brilliant in their field work.
-
All barriers to creativity must be removed, giving students space and freedom to flow their creative juices however they want.
At first this new learning method will confuse students a bit, but over time they will be able to easily adjust to this framework and will enjoy school more than ever.
Imagination and creativity are the characteristics of influencing the future. Both inspire students to integrate with the learning process and their fields of interest. After all, the main motive of all educators should be to teach students to think and always to think in the right direction in every situation.
In today’s world, the value of creativity is very high, topping the list of most valued skills. In developing a student’s creative ability, the roles of parents are just as important as those of a teacher, as they are the ones that children most admire and gain confidence in.
