🔎 Being inquisitive is important for everyone in the learning environment, leaders, teachers and learners alike, but it's a skill that's often inadvertently stifled when there's concern about taking risks or a tick-box culture... #EduSky

We often hear, “I’m not creative, I teach history.” But creativity isn’t subject-specific. It’s thinking in new ways, seeing patterns, and exploring possibilities. 💬 Where have you seen creativity shine in unexpected parts of your curriculum? #EduSky #Education #Creativity

Environment shapes behavior. A classroom that encourages creativity often looks different: Writable walls. Flexible spaces. Materials to build, sketch, or dream. 💬 What does a creativity-friendly classroom look like to you? Share a photo of your favourite creative space in your classroom!

Want to be the catalyst for change in your school, but don't know where to begin? It starts with small changes. This week, challenge students to solve a problem without using the obvious tools. Think cardboard instead of computers. Doodles instead of diagrams. Be the change. 💡 #EduSky
