  • ut we need to believe that we can in order for our innate creative abilities to shine though.

     

     

     

    Here are five simple principles that will help you to develop your creativity:

     

     

     

    1. Be open to new ways of thinking and acting throughout your day at work and at home - these could  just lead you to exciting new horizons. 

     

     

     

    2. Take pleasure in the unexpected or surprising - you might discover something that you will find really  useful.

     

     

     

    3. Strive to break out of old routines that might seem comfortable - take a new route to work, plan  in a different way, start a new interest.

     

     

     

    4. Make sure you find time to be yourself away from the pressures of work - you need a calm, uncluttered mind  to be creative.

     

     

     

    5. Never say to yourself it's too late to learn something new - tomorrow is the first day of the rest  of your life.

     

     

     

    If you are passionate about helping your students to be creative, then you must start with yourself.  Be a role model for creativity and then try to develop it systematically in your classroom.
