Creative Habits (of Mind) Framework

The model of creativity and creative thinking that underpins Leading for Creative Thinking focuses on five key Creative Habits (of Mind) - collaborative, disciplined, imaginative, inquisitive and persistent. 

This framework supports school leaders to understand what habits to focus on in developing the creativity of pupils and staff.

** Since this framework was commissioned by CCE and developed by Bill Lucas, Guy Claxton and Ellen Spencer we have become aware of the growing body of evidence that cognition is “embodied,” meaning that our physical actions directly influence the way we think. As such, moving forward, we are referring to the framework as ‘The Creative Habits’.
