Shownotes Transcript

Find out how leading researchers are making a contribution to our understanding of creativity, while at the same time inspiring the next generation through their teaching.

If the transformative potential of creativity in the education process is now acknowledged, how are our trainee teachers taught to teach creativity themselves? What are the realities of implementing creative practices in the classroom, and what is the latest research telling us about what teaching methods work and why?

A panel of researchers and practitioners from a range of art disciplines explore how they teach creativity to their students and give practical examples of what works when they get into the classroom.

Panel Dr Julie Dunn, Associate Professor and member of Griffith University's Applied Theatre team Kelly Freebody, Robyn Ewing and Michael Anderson , Faculty of Education and Social Work, University of Sydney Dr Miranda Jefferson, Teaching Educator in challenging pedagogy with the Catholic Education Office Parramatta Diocese.
