How to use this exemplar to improve practice:
This video along with reflective questions invites you to consider the impact of your own approach to encouraging a 'creative flow' during learning and teaching. You are invited to watch the video and consider, individually or as a group, the following improvement questions:
- How do you ensure that a creative flow is enabled during learning and teaching?
- How do you balance the support and mediation you provide without you taking over and leading the learning process in a way that stifles creative thinking?
- What type of questions do you use when enabling a 'creative flow' to learning?
- How do you ensure you always use 'open questions' to enable young people to offer more than a 'yes' or 'no' answer?
