What we learned
OECD 2012 - Paris
Teachers Found our conception was useful and had face validity Were challenged to plan for creativity and reflection Made time to use the tool Were positive about using it
Pupils Learned new and useful language Recognised how creative they were Thought about how they could be more creative
Challenges Balancing comprehensiveness and utility Getting the details right
What do we hope to achieve?
OECD 2012 - Paris
Engage the broader research, policy and practice communities in further dialogue
“We are being beaten with a rather large stick, with a Local Authority undergoing great change…With the new Ofsted [inspection] Framework looming and our old friend the 11+ [exams] ever present, it makes this project all the more vital in making staff reflect on how are we nurturing creativity and giving pupils access to their own armory of tools to ensure a love for learning and progress.” [Headteacher, South East England]
