How can teachers foster creativity in children? Provide a specific example, different from those in the text, of a way teachers can do this.
What will be an ideal response?
Providing opportunities for creativity; providing an environment that promotes creativity through an attitude of openness, flexibility, and encouragement; encouraging children to solve problems, rather than always providing the answer; and giving children’s work uncritical acknowledgement. Uncritical acknowledgement can be provided through comments such as “You have put a lot of time and effort into that drawing!” and “Look at all of those bright green leaves on that tree!” Comments that place value, such as “I love your painting,” should be avoided.
