🔎 Being inquisitive is important for everyone in the learning environment, leaders, teachers and learners alike, but it's a skill that's often inadvertently stifled when there's concern about taking risks or a tick-box culture... #EduSky

This was so insightful, thanks Laurence, Nia and guests 🦋

We often hear, “I’m not creative, I teach history.” But creativity isn’t subject-specific. It’s thinking in new ways, seeing patterns, and exploring possibilities. 💬 Where have you seen creativity shine in unexpected parts of your curriculum? #EduSky #Education #Creativity

Environment shapes behavior. A classroom that encourages creativity often looks different: Writable walls. Flexible spaces. Materials to build, sketch, or dream. 💬 What does a creativity-friendly classroom look like to you? Share a photo of your favourite creative space in your classroom!

When every student is expected to fly the same way, creativity stays static and grounded. We're here to support school leaders in integrating creative thinking into education, helping every child soar to new heights, in school and beyond. ✨🧠🎨 How do you encourage creativity to take flight? #EduSky

My big reframing for next year is not operating in scarcity mode; I will not let what is broken with the system define me as an educator.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear of Simon’s passing. He’s been a support and advocate for our work @cceengland.bsky.social and he’s a great loss to the creativity in education community. He was fiercely intelligent and a kind soul.

Absolutely heartbroken to learn that Professor Simon James has passed away after a short illness. Simon was a stalwart union rep in the English Department, and a personal friend to many of us in the branch. We'll miss his humour, his passion, and his dedication to making things better for people.

“We need to create a climate for a way of being. Get people on the inside (of our schools and organisations) on board” @lfct.bsky.social roundtable, Cardiff, with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social @alisonpeacock.bsky.social Welsh Government and Arts Council Wales. @cceengland.bsky.social

Our current mission is for creativity to be part of every learning organisation and every system so that every learner, teacher, and leader can thrive, because creative and confident children and young people are the key to changing the world for the better.

Want to be the catalyst for change in your school, but don't know where to begin? It starts with small changes. This week, challenge students to solve a problem without using the obvious tools. Think cardboard instead of computers. Doodles instead of diagrams. Be the change. 💡 #EduSky

🌅 Monday evening plans? This month, we’re exploring one of the least talked-about creative sub-habits: intuition. That gut feeling we ignore at our peril.

Grateful @cceengland.bsky.social to be in our fourth year of walking alongside the brilliant team at Cragside Primary School. "Pupils thrive in this nurturing and aspirational school." This opening line from their latest Ofsted report says it all.

We are currently working with three wonder-filled communities in England, one in Pakistan and we'll soon be launching another in India. We also co-ordinate regular community events which are free and open to all - keep up to date with these through our @lfct.bsky.social page.

Creativity in learning ignites unlimited possibilities. CCE wants to build wonder-filled communities where everyone can be creative, using the power of creativity to connect learners’ hearts and minds and change their lives, their communities and their world. 🌎

Our Creative Habits framework is a formative assessment tool that not only helps pupils develop creative capabilities over time, but also aids teachers and leaders in schools to notice and reflect on their own creativity.

Join me and a panel of incredible speakers at the launch of the International Arts and Imagination Network (IAIN) tomorrow (24 April), online, 2-3pm BST. ℹ️ For more information and to register free, follow this link: www.bathspa.ac.uk/projects/int... @cceengland.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social

Happy World Creativity and Innovation Day 🌍 💫 From learning to leading, from the Arts to STEM, from knowledge to capabilities, from education to industry, from children to adults; the thread of creativity has powerful potential for each one of us. Illustration by @tbrookerart.bsky.social

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". 🚀 Our mission is simple: we want creativity to be part of every learning organisation, system and community, so that every learner, teacher, and leader can thrive. #EduSky #CreativeLearning
