Nurturing Young Innovators: Cultivating creativity in the classroom, home, and community

Posted on September 8, 2020 by Dr. Laura

Wow, we loved writing this book. It draws on so much of what I teach and have learned from MY students about engaging young learners in creativity ANYWHERE they are. I know you’ll find great ideas and I hope you’ll offer your own suggestions, too. [Ad Pandemicus: Working with children at home demands more creativity and I’m SO interested in helping us all get through this. I hope this book helps. Hang in there.]

Teaching the 4Cs with technology: How do I use 21st century tools to teach 21st century skills?

Though it’s now been 5 years, this remains our best (and fastest read) book on the four key skills of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

If we expect our students to take risks and try new things, we as educators need to model the idea of responsible risk-taking.
