The Agile Professor - Creating an Agile Learning Environment for Classrooms and Schools

Best Practice

The creative process is a challenge to teach because it is not prescriptive. There is no recipe for teaching the creative individual or group because there are always multiple answers to any project or assignment. However there are experienced teachers in the arts that have the ability to develop the creative capacities of their students and colleagues. What are their best practices?

Will you contribute one example of your best practice? This would be a description of a project that has always enhanced the creative experience and insight of the student.

Certain types of structures in the learning environment support the best practices of creative people. These structures are composed of conceptual, administrative, social, financial and physical conditions. These conditions are variable.  As in any discipline these conditions generate understandings that change the practice.  What are the best conditions or learning environments for creative people?

Will you describe a model, framework, or structure that supports your best practice?

Conferences, travel, periodicals, personal networks and institutions are established means for sharing these best practices. Now there is the Web 2.0 environment that can be used to carry on some of the same interests of sharing best practices.

Will you post your best practice with Agile Professor?
