CoachIn any sport the best coaches change, improve or otherwise modify behaviour.Even in team sports, they also understand each athlete is different.Coach Creativity Skill is similar and like all sport is also non-cultural.Students and teachers in any culture, speaking any language, can benefit from Coach Creativity Skill.CreativityCreativity is divergent + convergent thinking followed by an expressive act.A problem is required to trigger this action.But a problem can also generate other actions which are NOT creativity.Years ago I had one of those 'Eureka' moments you may have heard about.
Some teachers stopped listening to what I was saying and became involved in what they were doing.That's when I made an unexpected discovery - the teachers were exhibiting creativity! At that time I had read quite a few studies on creativity, creativeness and similar ideas. So at least I had an idea of what creativity was and could recognize it as well.Only after we know something we can start to find words for that knowledge. Thus non-verbal education ought to be before anything based on language for that's how we learn.Creativity is the invention of new knowledge and is NOT language based!SkillSkill is developed by repetition of a behaviour over a period of time.It is therefore built from situations where the behavior is limited.Creativity is a behavior, so like any other behavior, skill can be developed.
People considered creative possess that skill.With practice comes control and we can predict what might happen. As we practice even more we become increasingly effective, and the results are better.Most really creative people work at this level as a result of years of experience. All children learn to solve problems for that's how they learn to talk, walk and many other things.Adults learning the same things tend to be impatient and not to allow sufficient time for skill to develop. Developing any skill actually takes a lot of time. The sport of body building illustrates what should happen.
The athlete completes many lifts of weights over a lengthy period of time. Small increments of additional weight are applied at regular intervals. Eventually the weight-lifter builds sufficient strength to lift very heavy weights.Weights that would have been impossible at the beginning of the training process. Many repetitions of anything with interest and motivation = skill development.Developing skilled creativity is no different! Instead of a few seeming to be creative all students are, and can be more so.But how does someone develop high level autonomous creativity? From this book you can find out by being in my role and have students behave like those teachersThere is NO group or individual who cannot be a student of this program.Coach Creativity Skill is not rocket science but common sense.
