What is creativity?

Innovation Innovation occurs when learning and teaching is
creative, pupils are challenged and learning outcomes are high
Teaching can be innovative without making new resources but using existing ones imaginatively when planning a lesson/series of lessons to suit the needs of a class
Innovation incorporates an unexpected event, makes the learner think and challenges their assumptions
Innovative teaching is attainable by everyone

Key Messages Secure subject knowledge and effective pedagogy lie at the heart of
innovative teaching
This work must be embedded into whole school improvement to have a real impact on children’s learning
Embedding ICT begins with small steps and can be a challenging journey for some teachers
Subject leaders are responsible for supporting the use of ICT in their subject, working closely with ICT leaders
Adopting simple ICT resources, tools and approaches can support teachers who are starting their journey
Adapting these tools and resources is the next step and involves good questioning, modelling, interaction and assessment of pupils’ learning
