Assessing Creativity in the Classroom? Ep2 of Creativity in Crisis
In Episode 1 of Creativity in Crisis, we discussed large scale assessment of creativity. Guests Bill Lucas and James Kaufman and hosts Ron Beghetto and Yong Zhao had a very interesting discussion. You can watch it here.
In Episode 2, we would like to talk about creativity assessment in the classroom. Should it be done? If so, how often? Do we expect students to become more or less creative as they get older? Who should be doing the assessment? Should the assessment be included in students’ report cards? What impact can we expect from assessing creativity in the classroom? These are very significant questions that we must ask.
Join us from 11 to 12pm on Friday, July 10th for a great discussion. The two guests are: Elisabeth McClure, research specialist at LEGO Foundation and Jason Blaire, art teacher at Eli Pinney Elementary School in Dublin, Ohio.
We value your views, please take the survey below. The results of the survey will be used in the discussion. Thank you.
