Suspends Judgment – Silences the Inner Critic The ability to hold off on judging or critiquing an idea is important in the process of creativity. Often great ideas start as crazy ones – if critique is applied too early the idea will be killed and never developed into something useful and useable. (note – this doesn’t mean there is never a time for critique or judgement in the creative process – it’s actually key – but there is a time and place for it). (http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/05/09/9-attitudes-of-highly-creative-people/) Many new ideas, because they are new and unfamiliar, seem strange, odd, bizarre, even repulsive. Only later do they become “obviously” great. Other ideas, in their original incarnations, are indeed weird, but they lead to practical, beautiful, elegant things. Thus, it is important for the creative thinker to be able to suspend judgment when new ideas are arriving, to have an optimistic attitude toward ideas in general. Tolerates Ambiguity

From the article: "Mindsets are simply defined as 'the ideas and attitudes with which a person approaches a situation.' Mindsets imply that mental and attitudinal states can assist one in being successful with a given skill set. I believe this to be true for engaging in the creative process, that a creative mindset is a prerequisite to being creative." Of particular interest to brainstormers.

Creatives are simultaneously essential and aggravating. You know who you are, you are the person at the board table asking why? No one wants to answer you so they pass you over. But that is one of the strongest attributes of a creative mind: why? Why have we always done it this way? Why are we promoting our products this way? Why are we meeting? Ask one why question a day - just to keep limber.

Student Voice is invaluable to the effectiveness of the educator.

i agree! As a teacher, I always sought to improve and make my classroom more effective for students. End of year surveys helped a lot. I also had students write letters to next year's students. This gave me insight into how the course and classroom activities helped or hampered their learning. summer is a great -- there is actually time to reflect. as lessons change, there is time to do researxh and gather resources.

Teaching, no matter what topic comes up with a big responsability. We must be aware of how we provide feedback to our students, use the correct words, focus on the important mistakes but also recognizing the setrengs of put students in order to motivate them.
