Creativity is important t me because I believe it is what sets us apart from each other. I also believe that it can pull us together. I believe that self-actualized creativity is what holds society together. I see creativity in myself as solving problems creatively. I also have a way of creating easier, more efficient ways of doing things. My first college degree is in Interior Design so I have always had a creative ability to visualize a space that doesn’t exist yet. We would call this spatial reasoning. There are many people who can’t visualize something unless they are looking at the actual object or space.
As a teacher I think that creativity creeps in as we figure out ways to communicate with each of our students. I have 108 students with at least 110 different personalities. I think we have to be creative in our teaching approaches and how we build separate types of relationships with each kid.
