"We can't just be in the business of teaching kids the kind of stuff that they can look up on their phone. School has to also become a safe space for creating, a daily opportunity for kids to take what they know and apply it in new and meaningful ways."Kyle WedbergCEO of NOCCA, New Orleans Center for Creative Arts

"To foster creativity while attending to the rigor required by the Common Core standards, we offer three recommendations:

1. instill interest in the subject matter 2. teach multiple viewpoints to build student confidence in the critical-thinking skills needed for creativity3. provide choices for exploring how to solve problems and create products."Common Core Quick-StartFostering Creativity Through RigorRobin Wisniewski and Kirsten Millerhttp://www.ascd.org/ascd-express/vol8/810-wisniewski.aspx
