The SEED Framework for Cultivating Creativity
A NEW APPROACH TO CREATIVITY...
"If the ultimate goal of education is to help students construct the best possible future, then educators need to construct a new vision for creativity. The SEED Framework brings that vision to life!" (Ricci, 2019)
The SEED Famework is structured around four pathways that guide and support creative thinking and action. For many students, creativity can often feel intimidating and ambiguous, so these pathways help make the process of creativity visible and accessible. Creativity is such a complex idea and SEED puts it into simple terms that students and educators can now understand.
