- From Rhetoric to Reality: Designing Activities to Foster Creativity Cropley, David H. Creativity Theory Practice Relationship Praxis Learning Activities School Libraries Library Role Library Services Librarians Educational Change Change Strategies Elementary Secondary Education Educational Practices Instructional Design Problem Solving Problem Based Learning As teachers strive to make sense of and implement knowledge of creativity that is available from the research community, school librarians are called upon to help turn rhetoric into reality. Developing the creativity habit is far more meaningful and effective if the classroom activity is representative of the real-world problem-solving process. School librarians have a role to play as the facilitators of the transformation. They are equipped to turn the "what" into "how" both by seeking out and providing the practical examples of implementation, but also by helping to develop the detail and context that turns abstract, uninspiring, narrow problems into engaging, realistic, and authentic creative problem-solving exercises.
