Education and Creativity

I thought I had posted about creativity and education expert Sir Ken Robinson before, but apparently I haven’t and so thank you to The Donut Project for reminding me to watch his TED talks again and mention them here…

In 2006 Robinson gave an inspiring presentation about creating an education system that nurtures creativity, and he returned to TED in 2010 to make the case for a shift away from standardized schools to fostering creativity and the natural talents of kids.

Waiting for “Superman”

Made by David Oscar-winning filmmaker David Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth), Waiting for “Superman” is a documentary about the American public education system and how it is failing kids. You can watch the trailer here.
