Creativity is Mutualistic

Creative work occupies a complex creative space; it does not exist in isolation, nor is there only one solution to any creative work. Thus, the evolution of educator practices that support the creative process is neither straightforward nor simple. Creativity is improvisational, and often emerges when errors arise while grappling with familiar concepts; however, improvisation cannot happen when students are in lockstep with standardized directives or when they are focused on the singular goal of finding the one right answer to a problem. Thus, educators who inspire creativity must create an atmosphere within their classrooms that allows creative thought and process to evolve.
