101 Ways For Teachers To Be More Creative [Updated]

by TeachThought Staff

Creativity isn't always something that just happens. It can take quite a bit of work to nurture, grow, and develop creativity, even for those who are immersed in creative and dynamic fields.

For educators, it can be even more of a challenge to inspire creativity in students or embrace your own creativity while trying to juggle academic requirements, testing, and other issues in the classroom. It may be difficult but it's certainly not impossible, and accomplishing it can help to create a classroom environment that's more motivational, interesting, and educational for both you and your students.

So how do you get there? Here are some tips that can help you get creative in the classroom in a variety of ways.

FINDING CREATIVE INSPIRATION

Not sure where to begin? These tips will help you master the fundamentals and take the critical first step towards a more creative classroom.

CAPITALIZING ON THE CREATIVE SPARK

If you've got creativity in spades, you need to start taking the next steps to make use of it. Here, we offer some ideas that can help.

1. SET ASIDE TIME FOR CREATIVE THINKING.

It's hard to be creative when you don't have any time to even do so much as think about being creative. Make it a priority to set aside a few minutes of your day for free thinking and ensure that your students aren't so overwhelmed with homework that they don't have time to be creative.

2. DEVELOP CREATIVE IDEAS, DON'T LET THEM DIE.

It's not enough to just come up with a creative idea; you have to follow through. Be willing to spend the time nurturing your ideas and developing them into something worthwhile and useful. Encourage students to do the same.

3. CARRY A NOTEBOOK.

Inspiration can strike at any time, so make sure you've got a way to record it when it does by carrying a small notebook with you.
