CREATE YOUR CLASSROOM

The formula for building spaces that spark inspiration and cultivate lifelong creativity.

Whether you realise it or not, as an educator, you are also a creator. Each lesson is a creative collaboration in which you combine resources of time, energy, information, and imagination in unique and valuable ways to achieve understanding. You are entrusted with the privilege and responsibility of building an environment where students not only learn but discover who they are and what they can become.

But now, your creativity is required more than ever. Education faces momentous challenges, including literacy crises, ingrained inequality, mental health emergencies, technological disruptions, and both complex and conflicting stakeholder expectations. Moreover, employers are demanding graduates come armed with creativity, looking to schools to provide these skills. All of these factors make one thing clear - you must nourish your creative energy not only to overcome these challenges and secure your wellbeing but also to be an effective role model for your students.

Through extensive exploration, this book delves into the issues in our classrooms and across the educational sector and presents The Creative Energy Equation—a practical, research-backed formula for building classrooms where creativity flourishes by focusing on emotion, meaning, and connection. It calls on all educators to nurture their creativity so that not only can they be constructive role models, but they can thrive within what can be very difficult environments.

The Creative Energy Equation is not about teaching people to think differently—it's more visionary than that. It is about creating spaces where creative energy can flow, curiosity is sparked, confidence is nurtured, and potential is brought to life.

But it begins with you.
