Who's Creative?

This article is an article on students' creativity.  The author refers to several cases where creative teaching and learning has positive and measurable results.  Unfortunately, this article also states that there is a "creativity crisis" in our nation.  The cause of this is unknown but is being blamed on rigorous school schedules and hours of media where there is no activity.  In a lot of countries around the world, creativity is a priority, yet in our country we have seen a downward spiral.
I loved this article.  It was so inspiring to read about teachers who are making a difference and closing the gap in low and high level learning and teaching.
