In this debrief episode, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood reflect on the first five episodes of Season 5. Cyndi and Matthew begin by revising a discussion where one guest suggested we shouldn't focus on the person, only the idea. However, Cyndi and Matthew discuss if that is possible and consider how that relates to what we know of sociocultural theory.
Cyndi and Matthew also discussed the use of the word Creativity to describe a new Ph.D. program and how the aspects of the artistic process can support STEAM projects.

Matt's Insights
Expression preferences: We all like to express our creativity through different outlets. How many opportunities do you give your students to do that?
The "future creative" is someone who knows when to use the algorithm and when to turn it off.
Each of us has a unique creative potential. How can you find that in your students and help them act on it? (hint: Personal Interest Projects!)
Cynthia's Insights
There are significant benefits to using digital innovation, like YouTube videos, to demonstrate problem-solving and creativity skills.
Creative potential: Look for things that differentiate your students and find ways to showcase and/or nurture that creative potential.
Give your students resources and tools that encourage exploration and development of their personal interests, like Personal Interest Projects.

The month of June celebrates Father's Day, and this prompted Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood to produce a special episode on parenting for Creativity. In a slightly different format, Cyndi interviews Matthew about his parenting blog, Dads for Creativity, and discusses the need to monitor parental bias when celebrating Creativity in the home environment.
"We have to be mindful of how our biases, and our backgrounds, and what we're into, and what we know, is going to influence our children's creative behaviors and what the pursue in the early years." - Matthew Worwood

What were the biggest lessons learned during the last five episodes in Season Three of the Fueling Creativity podcast? In this final debrief, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood sit down and reflect on episodes that discussed the relationship between Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurship, breaking with habit-bound thinking, developing a sense of awe in students, and Inward and Outward Creativity.
Listen in as Cyndi and Matthew break down the following insights.
Major Takeaways from Season Two, Episodes 6-10:
Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship. What's the connection? Do different groups have increased value for one over the other? Or are we discussing similar things in a different context?
A sense of awe in students. Awe is a sense of considerable astonishment in a person or topic. How might teachers facilitate awe toward the curriculum or subject? Should that be an ambition for creative teachers?
Inward and Outward Creativity. Sociocultural theory informs us that the actor engages in internal and external actions that include thoughts, ideas, and reactions in response to an environment. How do internal actions interact with other people inside a classroom environment? Does a sense of connection drive these actions, and is arts a bridge between inward and outward Creativity?
