We Need More Creative SchoolsSomething happens in students when they define themselves as makers and inventors and creators. They discover powerful skills—problem-solving, critical thinking, and imagination—that will help them shape the world’s future … our future. If that’s true, why isn’t creativity a priority in more schools today?Educators John Spencer and A.J. Juliani know firsthand the challenges teachers face every day: School can be busy. Materials can be scarce. The creative process can seem confusing. Curriculum requirements can feel limiting. Those challenges too often bully creativity, pushing it to the side as an “enrichment activity” that gets put off or squeezed into the tiniest time block. We can do better. We must do better if we’re going to prepare students for their future.LAUNCH: Using Design Thinking to Boost Creativity...

More About Launch: Using Design Thinking to Boost Creativity and Bring Out the Maker in Every Student
I wish I could get more excited over this book. I really had high hopes but it didn't inspire me. Passed it on to a colleague who is just starting to learn about this type of teaching. Hopefully he'll get some new ideas. I have read at least a half dozen educational books on makerspaces, STEM labs, collaborative spaces, etc. in the past six months and this was the best one by far! I will be recommending it to all teachers in my district who want to create environments where students have opportunities to explore, create, collaborate, and celebrate.... Great resource to get your mind around how to make the design process accessible to any age group.
