"Instead of valuing one style, an organization should respect and value the adaptive and innovative styles of creativity. Individuals within an organization can work more effectively together by capitalizing on each others' strengths, rather than punishing each other because of individual differences. If an atmosphere of openness and trust prevails in the organization, then the adaptors and innovators will be able to join their creative talents to propel the organization to success. ... Individuals will manifest their creativity in different ways, and both styles of creativity are valuable."
I think that really is the key part of creativity. Each student will be gifted in different ways. I judged ITEC a few weeks ago and just seeing how absolutely different every student's project was, despite the fact that they were given similar parameters was incredible. Even in TWT class, we all get the same LEGO kits, everyone comes up with different ways to solve the problem. I think that many lessons in school could use some more creativity and free thinking from students. Presenting them with materials and a problem, forces them to not only be creative, but, to be critical thinkers, which inspires the next generation of people to accomplish many more things.
