Dr. Cyndi Burnett: The Science Of Creativity - #295

What is the case for developing creative thinking skills? How can we teach creativity in schools? Do schools kill creativity? Recently the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (or PISA), a global academic benchmark for measuring and comparing the academic performance of children across many countries, decided it should also measure creativity. Over the years educators including Sir Ken Robinson, Edward de Bono, and Ellis Paul Torrance have spoken and written about how to teach creative thinking. A new voice has entered this conversation, Dr. Cyndi Burnett. Dr. Cyndi Burnett is the co-director of Creativity and Education, an online platform designed to help educators and parents bring creativity into their classrooms and homes. Nearly 100,000 people have now taken her online course on Everyday Creativity which is available on Coursera, making it one of the most popular creativity courses on the platform. She has also held the position of Associate Professor at the International Center for Studies in Creativity at SUNY Buffalo State and prior to becoming an academic, Cyndi was a professional actress.    Cyndi and I discuss the science of creativity, Julia Cameron's 'The Artist's Way", the Torrance test, and the latest academic research on creativity.   Please SUBSCRIBE ►http://bit.ly/JTme-ytsub ♥️ Your Support Appreciated!
