Creative teaching in PE?

"Being creative as a teacher means that you must imagine the child within the environment and explore it with them."

Are you born creative or can creativity be learned?

"A study by George Land reveals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative. Creativity is a skill that can be developed and a process that can be managed. Learning to be creative is akin to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles, and a supportive environment in which to flourish. Business leaders are increasingly adopting the principles and practices of art and design to help build creative muscle in their organizations."

This question has many implications for teacher education!

• Should we be teaching teacher candidates the art of being creative? And how?
• What consists of being creative as a teacher?
• Can you be an effective teacher without creativity?
• How can we instill creativity in PE teachers?
• How important is creativity and non-creativity in PE?
• Can creative teaching be taught by teaching in creative ways during PETE programs? If so, are we doing that? And what can be done to enhance this type of teaching?
