Progression in Creativity: Developing New Forms of Assessment
1 like808 views
The OECD conference on educating for innovative societies emphasized the importance of assessing creativity through dispositions rather than skills, focusing on teachers' and pupils' perspectives. Findings indicated that teachers found the concept useful, while pupils engaged with new language and reflection on their creativity. The aim is to foster dialogue with research and education communities to enhance creativity in learning amidst changing assessment frameworks.

communities in further dialogue
“We are being beaten with a rather large stick, with a Local Authority
undergoing great change…With the new Ofsted [inspection] Framework
looming and our old friend the 11+ [exams] ever present, it makes this
project all the more vital in making staff reflect on how are we nurturing
creativity and giving pupils access to their own armory of tools to ensure a
love for learning and progress.” [Headteacher, South East England]
