One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.

Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.

We get educated out of creativity.

School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.

Teaching for creativity aims to encourage self-confidence, independence of mind, and the capacity to think for oneself.
