Fostering creativity and innovation in school children

It's good to find out what kids do really well. I thin k that is one of the main tasks of a teacher: to find the strengths in your students, and look for attributes other than the ability to sit compliantly in class, use neat hand writing, or fit in. Social awareness is important, but what other skills can be developed in children in the classroom that help them to learn really well, and be an asset in the classroom, rather than bored and mischievous. This UK program looks at these issues and provides some insights into how we can build on the talent of children and harness this to their best advantage.
