Creative classrooms

A sign of a great classroom is how much creativity you can sneak in. During this test-centric age of public education, so much seems to revolve around memorization, rather than engaged thinking. Reflection. Connecting the dots. Imagination. Visioning. Great teachers know how to pull these things through the cracks. Schools of Education should teach future teachers a course called “Drop Ceiling Tile Removal: How to Let a Beam of North Star Light into your Classroom.”

    So true, Peter!

    Though I have no doubt many members of The North Star Community have managed to sneak lots of creativity into their classrooms. I’d love to hear examples of how they’ve done so, no matter how big or how small… if anyone is willing to share. It would be a great opportunity to swap ideas… spreading even more creativity into even more classrooms.
