This document discusses approaches to fostering creativity and professional development in initial teacher education. It presents an arts-infused model for designing classroom contexts and learning experiences that deliver subject content while developing students' core skills. The model incorporates using the natural and built environments, communications, school grounds, and social/cultural/historical contexts. Students reported enjoying participating in a project where they adapted a book into a graphic novel by summarizing, acting out, photographing, and compiling it. They recognized the value of incorporating creative learning approaches.
