Creativity in Education: Exploring the Imbalance

The United States is a leading nation when it comes to innovation. It is a country that took man to the moon, and a nation that values our greatest asset, Human Creativity. Inspired by the Newsweek article 'The Creativity Crisis', educator Matthew Worwood uses his documentary project to explore how changes to education policy have reduced opportunities to nurture and cultivate creative thinking skills in the classroom. Using interviews with educators, academics and creativity scholars, 'Creativity and Education: Exploring the Imbalance' examines the challenges that educators now face when it comes to cultivating creativity in school while teaching the content that is measured on the test.
