Creative Development in Teacher Education

The need for creativity and innovation as an integral part of 21st century skills in education has been widely espoused by numerous government jurisdictions and private organizations, notably Alberta Education’s Inspiring Education (2010) initiative along with the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) (2009) in the United States and the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, Ananiadou & Clario, 2009).
