There's a number of interesting bits in this article. For example, there's this reference to Schlechty's set of indicators of compliance, engagement, retreatism and rebellion. There's the suggestion that "a teacher is going to struggle trying to implement someone else's idea of creativity in the classroom," which seems odd (would you struggle with someone else's understanding of mathematics? of logic?). And there's the argument, with which I agree, that "All of our creativity... comes from bits we've seen and done combined together in a novel way." Image: the creative connectome in Beaty, et.al.
