Teaching Creativity through Innovationish Thinking
In this captivating episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Dr. Cindy Burnett and Dr. Matthew Warwood sit down with Dr. Tessa Forshaw and Richard Cox Braden, co-authors of "Innovation Ish," to unpack what it truly means to think and act like an innovator. The discussion dives deep into the often-blurred lines between creativity and innovation, clarifying how creative problem solving underpins real innovation. Dr. Tessa Forshaw and Richard Braden share insights from their research into over 80 creative problem solving methodologies, revealing the common mindsets that drive successful innovation and challenging the myth that innovation is reserved for billion-dollar companies or those with flashy resources.
Listeners will discover practical strategies for fostering creative confidence in the classroom, ways to help students see and solve novel problems, and the critical importance of mindsets like metacognition and awareness of cognitive biases. Whether you’re an educator looking to inspire creativity in your students or a leader striving to integrate innovation into your organization, this episode is packed with actionable advice and fresh perspectives. Don’t miss the hosts’ and guests’ personal stories about their most creative educational experiences—and learn why integrating creativity and innovation is not about following the trendiest processes, but about empowering everyone to notice, empathize, and experiment in everyday life.
