‘The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind –
creators and empathizers, pattern recognisers and meaning makers. These
people – artist, inventors, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers – will now
reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.’
Dan Pink (2005) A Whole New Mind New York: Riverhead Books
‘Creativity is intelligence having fun’

Craft, A. (2008) Approaches to Assessing Creativity in Fostering Personalisation. Paper prepared for discussion at DCSF Seminar, in London.
Creativity is:
complex and multi-faceted, occurring in all domains of life learnable core to what it is to be successful today capable of being analysed at an individual level in terms of dispositions, strongly influenced by context and by social factors.
‘Intelligence is the habit of persistently trying to understand things and make them function better. Intelligence is working to figure things out, varying
strategies until a workable solution is found… One’s intelligence is the sum of
one’s habits of mind.’ Resnick, L. (1999). Making America Smarter. Education Week Century Series. 18(40), 38-40
How do you cultivate a Disposition or Habit of Mind?
1. Understand it [its components and what it looks like when students do it]
2. Create the climate for it [be a role model, use displays, use language which encourages it, notice it, reward it]
3. Teach it (1) [choose pedagogies, materials, visitors, visits likely to encourage it]
4. Teach it (2) [split screen – subject + habit] 5. Build learner engagement [students own it]
[Understand it]
[Create the climate for it]
[Choose methods to teach it]
The idea of ‘signature pedagogy’
