The act of teaching is a process that is used to promote the student growth and development of original or creative thought and action. Creativity is like the uniqueness of an individual that comes when you and your teacher work hard. A teacher is a person who directs and influences people easily, especially when it comes to teaching children.
People always think that the teacher must share knowledge and experiences with the children. But the truth is, that teacher prepares children for the hardships and pleasures of life, they prepare the student for future success and help the young ones to find the inner creativity they have by teaching children to feel self-confident and motivated.
But what is creativity? The ability to make or produce new things using skills or imagination. The problem has more than one solution and creative people are open-minded and innovative. When creativity collaborates with teaching it will help the children and society to grow more.
Creative teaching focuses both on the methods a teacher uses to deliver the learning and the overall effects of those methods on students and the outcomes produced. Creativity is highly appreciated in every field.
In today’s ever-changing world it becomes even more essential for the teacher to keep reinvesting in themselves. To transform themselves into smart creative teachers.
“The smarter the teacher, the smarter the children.”
In a normal classroom teacher have a deeper understanding of a subject but the creative teacher go beyond the subject knowledge for igniting creativity in the students. In seeking to become an innovative teacher one should have a deeper understanding of their creativity, imaginative approaches, and the activities that can employ to develop the children’s capacity for original ideas and actions.
But does it fully depends on the teacher only?
There is not only one factor that contributes to creativity the most important factor that influences the creativity of children is their social environment the environment may be the classroom environment or family environment.
The process of developing creative learning in the children by encouraging them to do something unique for society. The teacher inspires the learner’s interest in learning material and leads the student to find the solution of a problem by themselves creatively or present specific problems and ask the learner to apply all sorts of available resources they have to find the best satisfying solution creatively.
There are some techniques that teachers should use in his/her classroom:
1) Audio and video tool: The Technique that helps the student to learn faster. This can be in the form of short films, videos, Models, pictures, infographics, and many other brain mapping tools. This helps the student to engage in the imaginative part of the brain and let that part thrive and grow. For example, 3000 words- a document about anything easily go away from your mind but when we will see that information in the form of a video it will always remain in your mind and is easy to remember.
2) Brainstorm: Brainstorming is the best and most effective tool that helps the student to think of new and creative ideas by strengthening the brain muscles and making the brain more flexible. In this process, the person is involved in imagination and at the same time “on-point” thinking and mind development. The teacher should use this technique by giving a group activity to the students and asking them to give creative solutions. The multiple brains focus on a single idea and get back the multiple solutions of a single idea.
3) Classes outside the classroom: If it is possible to plan an educational trip for the students it will be surely helpful for them. This helps them to realize and understand that learning takes place everywhere in their surroundings and that teachers should teach their minds to accept that learning is not only limited to the classroom, but they’ll learn every day even outside the classroom.
4) Role play: The technique that teaches the student to develop interpersonal skills and get out of their comfort zones and be more confident and take a stand by solving a problem creatively. When they put themselves in the shoes of the character they will learn how they solve the problem in this position.
5) Participation: The teacher should organize activities like games or visual exercises that can attract young students and encourage them to take participate in the activities and make more and more creative contributions.
