Abstract

It is not enough for the creatively gifted children in the school systems to simply wonder about the world around them. It is the responsibility of educators to promote and encourage those wonderings so that gifted children can develop their creativity to their fullest potential. The objective of this chapter is to examine the various viewpoints of the nature of creativity. This chapter seeks to explore the following questions: (a) What is creativity? (b) Are academic giftedness and creative giftedness distinct concepts? (c) Can creativity be assessed? (d) What instructional strategies can be used within classrooms to enhance the creativity of gifted students? (e) How does one build a culture of creativity within the classroom?
