What is Crea0vity? What is the Crea0ve Problem Solving Process? How Does the Crea0ve Problem Solving Process Relate to Project Based Learning?
What is it?
Can Crea0vity be Defined? The process of having original ideas that have value. (Sir Ken Robinson, August 2014) It’s Process Original Value — In Context

Crea0ve Thinking is Work!
You must have passion and determina0on Failure is not bad
It took Edison 3000 ideas on ligh0ng before the he had success with the light bulb Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. Some were masterpieces and some no be`er than any of his contemporaries Picasso executed over 20,000 works. Not all were great.

Crea0ve Thinking — Imagine (Genera0ng) Ideas Possibili0es Op0ons
Cri0cal Thinking — Focusing & Selec0on Evalua0on the strengths and weakness of each op0on Make Selec0on based on the best projected outcomes
Fluency — as many op0ons as possible Flexibility — looking at ideas and objects diversely Originality — unusual and ingenious Use Idea Crea0on Tools Elabora0on — expanding or stretching ideas or op0ons (as discussed in Rick Wormeli’s “Fair Isn’t Always Equal: Assessing & Grading in the Differen0ated Classroom
Organizing and analyzing possibili0es Refining and developing promising possibili0es Ranking and priori0zing op0ons Choosing or deciding on certain op0ons Using idea–directed tools to aid in the op0on selec0on process
