Do Schools Kill Creativity?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sir Ken Robinson – the well-known British educator and creativity expert says \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.\u201d ~Ken Robinson<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are some important abstracts from his presentation (hopefully it will inspire you to watch the whole presentation given below. It\u2019s really worth watching):<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather we get educated out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe know three things about intelligence:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One, it\u2019s diverse, we think about the world in all the ways we experience it. We think visually, we think in sound, we think kinesthetically. We think in abstract terms, we think in movement.
\nSecondly, intelligence is dynamic. If you look at the interactions of a human brain, as we heard yesterday from a number of presentations, intelligence is wonderfully interactive. The brain isn\u2019t divided into compartments. In fact, creativity, which I define as the process of having original ideas that have value, more often than not comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things\u2026
\nAnd the third thing about intelligence is, it\u2019s distinct.\u201d<\/p>\n
