What does a creative school classroom look like? What does a teacher and/or school leadership need to do to set the stage for creativity to flourish? This half hour session will provide the basics to consider in creating a learning environment (with tenants transferable to the business/corporate office working environment), with built in time to discuss specific barriers you may have to overcome in doing so.
