To learn more about the Creative Habits framework and how we apply it, please take a look at our NECC portfolio here: www.creativitycultureeducation.org/north-east-c...

Leaders throughout the school, and the wider education system, can support teachers by creating the conditions for creativity to flourish, because the imaginative and creative individuals of tomorrow - are needed today. 🧠

However, inviting children to be questioning and curious helps them to think more deeply, critically and learn better in the long run. Inviting staff to challenge their assumptions and engage in enquiry learning helps them to support children to become more inquisitive.

🔎 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...

We believe that creativity in education ignites unlimited possibilities.
We want to build wonder-filled communities where everyone can think – and be – creative.
What does a wonder-filled community bring to mind for you? Tell us in the comments below ⬇️

I feel it often comes when we are intentional & purposeful in seeking out places where it can occur. Last year, we adjusted some module tasks in our literacy curriculum to incorporate art & STEM, allowing for a more creative range of final products. #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

We're having a fantastic day in Manchester at one of our roundtable events, making (and building on) connections, and having important, exciting discussions! 🐝

When every student is expected to fly the same way, creativity stays static and grounded.
We're here to support school leaders in integrating creative thinking into education, helping every child soar to new heights, in school and beyond. ✨🧠🎨

How do you encourage creativity to take flight?

#EduSky

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!

This outcome is a testament to Cragside’s confident, relational, reflective, and outward-looking creative leadership. We’ve learned a huge amount from working with them, and we’re intrigued to see where their journey leads next!

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. 💡

🌅 Monday evening plans?

This month, we’re exploring one of the least talked-about creative sub-habits: intuition.

That gut feeling we ignore at our peril.

With @artscouncilengland.bsky.social funding we are using this framework to understand how Speech Bubbles supports children's creative development.

We would love to know more @speechbubblescio.bsky.social

Grateful @cceengland.bsky.social to be in our fourth year of walking alongside the brilliant team at Cragside Primary School.

"Pupils thrive in this nurturing and aspirational school."

This opening line from their latest Ofsted report says it all.

There are over 20 countries now using the model due to CCE's partnerships. How do you think about creativity? Tell us in the comments.

The Creative Habits framework is the way we at Creativity, Culture and Education define and set a shared vocabulary for creativity.

This is not the only definition of creativity but it's a starting point for educators and settings around the world to embed creativity in educational settings.

We are currently working with three wonder-filled communities in England, one in Pakistan and we'll soon be launching another in India. We also co-ordinate regular community events which are free and open to all - keep up to date with these through our @lfct.bsky.social page.

Creativity in learning ignites unlimited possibilities. CCE wants to build wonder-filled communities where everyone can be creative, using the power of creativity to connect learners’ hearts and minds and change their lives, their communities and their world. 🌎

Join me and a panel of incredible speakers at the launch of the International Arts and Imagination Network (IAIN) tomorrow (24 April), online, 2-3pm BST.

Persistence is one of the key skills in creativity. Developing persistence can enable us to tolerate uncertainty, stick with difficulty, and dare to be different - all incredibly useful skills in learning and for life-long thriving!
