Innovation must have a purpose.
It is up to the leader to set the course and give a
bearing for the future. ...
Once you have established a vision that is
inspiring you can ask people
to be creative and innovative in moving towards it.

think critically and analytically,
and to find and use appropriate
learning resources.

a. Help students develop the habit of asking “why”
questions about information, ideas, and beliefs normally
taken for granted.
b. Instead of dissuading him or her to stop questioning,
reward the questioning and promote an environment of
openness so more students feel less afraid to speak up.
c. Encouraging this type of behavior might require more
teaching time, but it will nurture a childlike sense of
wonder as your students learn and grow.
1.Foster a Question-Friendly Environment
27. ARTICULATING TEACHERS
27
• Allocate fixed time towards creativity for students with Genius Hours,
like Google does for their employees.
• Creativity is a muscle that grows stronger and more efficient the more
we exercise generating ideas.
• The more ideas we come up with, the more original the ideas generated
will be.
• The more ideas we come up with, the greater our chances of producing
a work of success.
• Passive creativity isn’t the only source of “eureka moments.” Actively
generating ideas helps you produce better ideas that you’re more likely
to act on.
2. Practice Generating More Ideas
28. ARTICULATING TEACHERS
28
• It’s great for students to major in a singular field, whether it’s
science, math or art. To foster new ideas and a unique perspective,
however, encourage them to learn a variety of skills and subjects.
• The more unrelated the field, the better.
For example, the scientists of the future would be wise to
take coding lessons, guitar lessons, tennis lessons and
painting lessons.
• Learning different methods and practicing new skills not only
engages different parts of the brain, but it inspires cross-pollination
of ideas from one domain to the other.
3. Encourage New Skills
29. ARTICULATING TEACHERS
29
• To help students unleash more creativity, lead by example, and
openly share your original ideas with the class.
• Model what it looks like to be open to feedback and bounce ideas
off of one another.
• Great ideas don’t always make sense to everyone at first. Even The
Lion King went through multiple iterations with Disney’s producers
until the writers eventually reframed it as the story of Hamlet but
with lions.
4. Model Creativity in the Classroom
30. ARTICULATING TEACHERS
30
• When assigning classroom activities, allow students to
do some work on their own.
• Doing individual work not only prevents groupthink, but
it also facilitates student participation and helps them
value their peers’ strengths more.
5. Use the Jigsaw Classroom Method
32. ARTICULATING TEACHERS

“What our children and young people learn during
their time at school has never been more
important yet, at the same time, the task of
determining what that learning should be has
never been more challenging.”

CHALLENGES OF 21ST CENTURY
What skills do teachers need for the 21st century?
‘A teacher needs to be able to formulate,
construct, arrange, modify and make sense
of information so that it understood as
knowledge.’

CHALLENGES OF 21ST CENTURY
How can teachers address student performance issues?
‘It’s interesting the race-game of performance.
It’s always an issue for teacher education and
for education overall, but you have to ask the
question: what is the race for?’

CHALLENGES OF 21ST CENTURY
Can we learn from our overseas contemporaries?
‘‘It’s working towards not a product but an
actual kind of engagement of knowledge.
That’s the kind of learning space we’re moving
into, rather than understanding or
compartmentalizing knowledge in very specific
ways that don’t necessarily relate to another
space.’

CHALLENGES OF 21ST CENTURY
What will 21st century teaching look like?
‘Will there no longer be classrooms? Will there
be schools? Will there be virtual schools or
travelling schools or will students actually have
learning passports that they move around with
and make choices and will families be the ones
that make those choices?’
