Many students expressed interest in the more creative aspect of their learning experience, indicating a shift towards a facilitator role and increased communication. Students are more engaged and motivated, with better performance in previous standards taught using the CREATE method. The CREATE method has been tested on various standards, revealing a difference in their long-term knowledge compared to their short-term knowledge. When students are encouraged to think critically it leads to better self-learning.

When you implement it with well-researched intentions, it acts as a layer atop your existing framework/curriculum, effectively reshaping it to foster curiosity and creative thinking.”
