BOOSTING THE INTERNAL CREATIVE RESOURCES OF EUROPEAN SCHOOLS WITH FINNISH MODELS OF EDUCATION FOR CREATIVITY
www.creativeschools.eu We invite you to visit the website of our project, which aims to increase the creativity and innovation in everyday school practices in schools in four European countries (Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Romania) by: - providing support and training to teachers to focus upon the processes of creative skills development, - actively involving teachers and their learners in showcasing and boosting creative practices in their schools, - identifying and promoting uptake of creativity boosting methods and measure, with an emphasis upon everyday school/classroom creative environments, - providing teachers and learners with opportunities to develop their own creativity and engage them in reflection upon their own pedagogy and learning strategies. The first outcome of the project is an ONLINE, INTERACTIVE CREATIVITY SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR TEACHERS, available in Dutch, English, Hungarian, Italian and Romanian languages:

the variety of tools, technologies and materials you use in your teaching; the variety of methods and strategies in your teaching; the ways in which you communicate with learners to create new knowledge.
Answering the questions takes about 10 minutes. Try out the tool and let us know what you think of it!
