Creative Thinking in Schools: A Leadership Playbook by Bill Lucas, Ellen Spencer, et al

In an educational landscape that increasingly values creative problem-solvers, this playbook is a timely resource for school leaders. It offers a comprehensive and practical approach to fostering creativity in staff.

Grounded in research and real-world experience, the authors present a framework of five key creative habits: inquisitiveness, persistence, collaboration, discipline, and imagination. Practical tools and resources, such as reflection prompts and planning templates, equip leaders to implement these habits within their schools.

The book's emphasis on fostering a collaborative professional learning community recognises that continuous learning is key to sustained growth in creative thinking.

​

The book contains lots of ideas for leaders to do activities together in order to develop creative leadership skills. The book is based on research and has been thoughtfully written.

It's a great resource for anyone who sees creative thinking as a core purpose of education, and empowers leaders to cultivate creativity within their schools, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly complex world. 

It's a thought provoking book, and an interesting read.
