This is exactly what I have been doing lately. Exactly. Except for one of your bullets: "Don't force it. Relax, play, it will start to flow." My usual tendency is to force it with great impatience. Can't wait to get my regular dose of creative inspiration from your newsletter. I love this list! This is exactly what I have been doing lately. Exactly.

I so relate, Ameena! =) It's only when we break the rules that we can think and see in a efnierdft way. I especially appreciate your first point about protecting our inner child. To me, that relates to trusting and acting on our intuition more too. I have always learned the most when I followed my curiosity!It reminds me of all the travels I've done. Truthfully, I've never really been one to be interesting in sightseeing or seeing the world, but my instinct took me to Japan and now here to Peru where my eyes have been opened. Being able to interact with so many efnierdft kinds of people and experience very efnierdft ways of being is the essence of creativity for me.

Right now the debate is framed around accountability for teachers and schools, not improving learning or teaching.As a fellow arts teacher, I also have to say that we haven't done ourselves any favors as the academic representatives of creativity. Most secondary music teachers do precisely zero work in the classrooms around musical creativity, focusing instead on perfect performances and (sigh) competitions. They do so, because kids have absorbed the idea that life is one giant contest, and teachers believe they will keep kids interested in the arts if they are part of a winning team.Visual arts teachers do a better job of nurturing the idea of play with materials but product is still valued much more than thoughtful process, in my experience. And the whole math wars battle has been around the question of whether there are creative ways to approach problem-solving in math (or whether we should just memorize the algorithms deemed most efficient). There are smart people on both sides of the question but this is a conceptual shift for American education. Read any of the anti-21st century learning blogs lately?
