Inspiring and exploring creativity opens pathways for students to use creative expression to demonstrate content knowledge, critical thinking, and the problem solving that will serve them best no matter what their futures may bring. Intention offers a collection of ideas, activities, and reasons for bringing creativity to every lesson.“‘Rigorous whimsy.’ I'm in.”—Clive Thompson, author of Smarter Than You Think “Bravo to Burvall and Ryder for showing us how to bring out more creativity in the classroom. All teachers, parents, and students will find something to steal here.” —Austin Kleon, New York Times best-selling author of Steal Like An Artist “What I would have given to have educators like Amy and Dan in my early years … doodling, remixing, iterating, discovering, playing to learn with all your might. The world needs thinkers like these two and the world also needs this book.”—Sunni Brown, best-selling author of Gamestorming and The Doodle Revolution “Intention is a work of art and genius. Burvall and Ryder explore the rich tapestry of ways in which academia can embrace curiosity and creativity, provide tools with which to dissect it for values, and take that further with actionable exercises that empower the reader to put these ideas into practice. A beautifully executed exploration of creativity in learning.”—Adam Bellow, co-founder of Breakout EDU “Don’t just read this brilliant book of recipes for classroom creativity. Make it your intention to digest, deliberate, and doodle all over it. (I did!)”—Bryan Mathers, founder of VisualThinkery

Wow. THIS is the answer...

As a Principal, I have been looking for the inspiration & an actual "How-To" for genuinely talking about & working to widely support & better incorporate creativity into our school - mainly across the 4 core subject areas. The authors expertly spell out Creativity, why it is so important, how it builds critical thinking, and most importantly they offer a WIDE array of specific examples, resources & tools for implementation. Most resources on "creativity" and school just talk about how it is important. Yeah, we know. Dan & Amy operationalize Creativity & teachers can use specific strategies the next day. Super humbled & grateful. I will be buying this for our entire faculty - it is THAT good.

A book for inner city teachers and students too!

Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2017

Verified Purchase

Inner city teachers are consumed with covering content because our students lack key skills and have so many gaps in their learning. But then we accidentally don't teach students to think, problem solve, be creative or to make anything. I think Intention: critical creativity in the classroom by Amy Burvall and Dan Ryder will be a great tool to help me teach my teachers to bring creativity into their classrooms and help to encourage my teachers to give themselves permission to be creative with our kids. I'm just loving everything about the book! Thanks Amy and Dan!
