The development of intelligence, creativity, talent and many other desirable human potentialities has been one of the greatest challenges faced by educators throughout history.
Notwithstanding, educational institutions do what they can, but educational systems haven’t arrived at a sufficiently adequate solution to the multiple necessities that often arise with the advancement of science and technology.
Particularly, the index of academic performance in a vast majority of countries continues to provide evidence of unsatisfactory results, even despite the fact that systems of evaluation in general settle only for the measurement of very few specific aspects of the goals that should be reached.
Experts in the field agree on the significance of the development of creativity, since it permits in the student for instance: a great increment in the motivation to study, a high level of academic performance, originality, more flexibility, future vision, initiative, trust, and a love for taking risks as well as making appropriate decisions. All of this so long as the student can benefit from an adequate environment to think, feel and experiment in his/her own way the acceptance and valuing of his/her work.
Now, both primary and secondary grades, like chain links in the educational process, are fundamental. However, they require a curriculum organization with enough flexibility as to make the development of creativity one of its main purposes.
This is precisely the purpose of “Creative Teaching: Education for Being,” an innovative organization of the curriculum for grades K through 12. With a vision for globalization along with all of its components, this system offers enough flexibility to satisfy the educational needs pointed out above.
Following are three of its components, which, in turn, are essential for its application.
1. Objectives from first to twelfth grade.
2. Details of the methodological strategy.
3. Frame of Reference. This frame is composed, in turn, of three great areas to know: Knowledge - Personality - Human relations.
Also included are the specific aspects concerning each one of these areas, which in turn are designed to help educational institutions in the elaboration of their own model of Creative Teaching. In this way, institutions and educators around the world can offer the highest quality education.
