Educators and administrators are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Various studies have shown us that rote memorization is not an effective learning strategy, and that teacher-centered classrooms may not be the most efficiently structured ones for student engagement. However, despite learning about the skills that students will need to develop to become successful in the 21st century, as well as what beliefs about education may be worth hanging onto or throwing away, schools and teachers are left trying to figure out what their role needs to be in the education of their 21st century students.

10 Creative Collaboration Tips for Educators. Posted on Friday June 22, 2012 by Michael Keathley One of the most common laments that educators have is that our profession tends to isolate us from our peers. Faculty may spend all day in a classroom working with their students with little, if any, time to converse with other teachers. For online instructors, the feeling of aloneness may even be intensified. On those occasions when educators have a chance to sit down and talk with one another, the torrent of creative energy and ideas is both electrifying and fulfilling. How many of us, for example, have attended a conference and after having that time out from our regular duties to converse and collaborate with colleagues, left feeling excited about all the new pedagogical techniques we can try or all the excellent opportunities for professional development we have discovered?
The unfortunate part is that too often we let the day-to-day routine keep us from getting together to share ideas and inspiration like this. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 12 Most Striking Tendencies of Creative People. Ever wonder what makes those wacky, creative types tick? How is it that some people seem to come up with all kinds of interesting, original work while the rest of us trudge along in our daily routines? Creative people are different because they operate a little differently. They: 1. A short attention span isn’t always a good thing, but it can indicate that the creative person has grasped one concept and is ready to go on to the next one. 2.
Fearlessness is absolutely necessary for creating original work, because of the possibility of rejection. 3. Rules, to the creative person, are indeed made to be broken. 4. Seeing new possibilities is a little risky, because it means that something will change and some sort of action will have to be taken. 5. A photographer doesn’t just take one shot, and a composer doesn’t just write down a fully realized symphony. 6.
The hermit artist, alone in his garret, is a romantic notion but not always an accurate one. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Unleashing Creativity.

When I first heard about Czikszentmihalyi’s “Flow” concept and research, I became quite intrigued with this research. Its face validity immediately resonated with me. I always cherished those times in my own life when I was so fully engaged that I had no other thoughts than the task at hand, with joy coming purely from the engagement. I never had a name for it but Czikszentmihalyi did and conducted research on it. The characteristics of “Flow” according to Czikszentmihalyi are: Completely involved, focused, concentrating – with this either due to innate curiosity or as the result of trainingSense of ecstasy – of being outside everyday realityGreat inner clarity – knowing what needs to be done and how well it is goingKnowing the activity is doable – that the skills are adequate, and neither anxious or boredSense of serenityTimeliness – thoroughly focused on present, don’t notice time passingIntrinsic motivation – whatever produces “flow” becomes its own reward Questions for Thought”

In a study published in this month’s issue of the journal Early Education and Development, psychologists Peter Marshall and Christina Comalli began by surveying children aged four to 13 to discover what they already knew about the brain. Previous research had found that elementary school pupils typically have a limited understanding of the brain and how it functions, believing it to be something like “a container for storing memories and facts.” Marshall and Comalli’s questionnaire turned up the same uncertain grasp of the topic, which the researchers attributed to several factors.
A 20-minute lesson about the brain was enough to improve knowledge of brain functioning. But the success of their effort opens another possibility.
