Description
Inquisitive. Persistent. Imaginative. Disciplined. Collaborative. According to Professor Bill Lucas, who identified them, these are the key ‘creative habits of mind’ that all successful learners share.
But they don’t become habits by accident.

Together Paul and Bill reveal how school/cultural collaborations can transform the learning experience and make a positive difference to our children’s academic, social and emotional outcomes. A hands-on workshop, suitable for all educators.

- General Capabilities and the global context. Which capabilities matter most in Australia & Globally?
