Creativity

Creativity is going outside of the box and being creative every day. In my classroom, creativity looks like my students making projects about what interests them. They are able to make a poster, canva, google slides, WeVideo. If they find something else they can ask for approval on that as well.

Critcal Thinking

To ensure high quality-critical thinking in the classroom, I do a few things. I will let them solve things in groups without the help of an adult. I will model that people can have different opions and that is good. We also learn about vocabulary in class. We talk about it and learn how to use it in the classroom and beyond.

Creativity

To ensure that creativity leads to high quality learning or products, I will guide the students and give them choice. I will give them clear guidelines about how and what they will be doing. I will also give them examples. This will ensure that they are learning and creating something that goes along with what they are learning.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is when someone uses logic and questions in everyday life. I use critical thinking in the classroom all the time because it is a life skill. I will pose questions to my students and have them solve them with groups or partners. I model how to ask questions during our instruction.
