The CREATE Method

A new way to look at creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving for student engagement, teacher retention, and chronic absenteeism

Who We Have Worked With

What Is The CREATE Method?

The CREATE Method is a new method that provides teachers with the tools necessary to create engaging lesson plans and units while still following their already-established curriculum.

Our method is created by teachers – for teachers and uses six unique guides that allow teachers to reach every student inside their classroom. 

Why do you need

The CREATE Method?

According to recent research, being a creative and critical thinker is predicted to be one of the most important skills needed in the future. The problem is that either people don’t believe they are creative, or we, as a society, do not nurture their creativity.

Schools need to start recognizing the significance of creative and critical thinking in everyday practice in order to prepare students for the jobs of the future.

The CREATE Method is an innovative approach designed by teachers for teachers to reinvigorate your classroom with creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Our method is built around six unique steps that will help you transform your classroom experience, tailored to your unique needs as an educator. Each classroom, teacher, and student is different, and the CREATE Method embraces this diversity, allowing for a personalized application that meets your specific educational goals.

As educators, we know our content. But curating the information means sharing knowledge in an in-depth, relevant, and challenging manner. The CREATE method allows educators and students to consume information critically, ignite curiosity, and creatively question information.
Many students and teachers express anxiety about sharing new or contrasting ideas, fearing failure and judgment. This segment of the CREATE method aims to change that mindset and illustrate the importance of embracing ambiguity and uncertainty, being open-minded, and deferring judgment.
By creating unique, inquiry, and problem-based units, students can individualize their classroom experience. The CREATE method navigates educators through ways to engage and challenge students, to embrace challenges and problem-solving in a meaningful and relevant way.
How we view the learning process, ourselves, and others can significantly impact our ability to be curious and think creatively and critically. Learning to shift one’s attitude to align with each unique situation filled with ambiguity is essential when presented with differing perspectives. The CREATE method examines open-mindedness, deferring judgment, embracing failures, and the impact attitude can have on a creative classroom environment.
​Learning how to function in a creative environment allows team members to be stronger, efficient, confident thinkers and problem-solvers. This portion of the CREATE method focuses on the key tools and strategies to transform communication skills and team effectiveness.
Soft skills such as creativity and curiosity can be a challenge to assess. During this section of the CREATE method, learn how to provide opportunities for students to take ownership of their learning and design assessments that offer numerous chances for feedback, all while encouraging risk and creative thinking.
