Teaching at UW: Fostering Creativity & Risk-taking
Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring
Event Details
Explore transdisciplinary instructional behaviors that cultivate openness, risk-taking, and inclusion – the “soft structures” that support belonging and creative development in college classrooms. Join CTLM's John Martin, Ph.D., as he unpacks six dimensions of creativity-fostering behavior and examine teaching strategies such as encouraging autonomy, normalizing productive failure, creating spaces for risk and reflective feedback.
