We must clearly articulate the criteria
for success and provide clear,
immediate, and constructive feedback.
We must help them see success as a
valuable aspect of their personalities.
We must show students that the skills they need
to be successful are within their grasp by
clearly and systematically modeling
these skills.

Sir Ken Robinson on Creativity
“We have to be careful now that we use this gift wisely and that we avert some of the scenarios that we've talked about. And the only way we'll do it is by seeing our creative capacities for the richness they are and seeing our children for the hope that they are. And our task is to educate their whole being, so they can face this future.”
