More than any other factor, teachers can play a more effective role in the development of students' creativity due to their extensive relationships with students. Thus, it can be said that teachers play a crucial role in students' creative experiences.

Key Questions

But the questions are: Do our teachers understand the importance of their role? Have our teachers been able to stimulate students' creativity? What is the position of creativity in our classrooms?

Impact of Teaching Strategies

The approach teachers use to instruct and their classroom management strategies have a direct impact on enriching the classroom environment to foster and develop students' creativity.

The Creativity Education Program

In light of this critical role, the author developed a Creativity Education Program based on thirty years of scientific and practical experience. This program was evaluated through several stages of research to assess its impact.
