Assessment Practices and Students’ Creativity

Summary/Abstract: It is my belief that assessment practices in the classroom can be used to protect students’ creativity by recognizing and appreciating creative expression. This doesn’t mean that teachers should throw out standards or provide empty praise for inappropriate ideas. If responses are not appropriate, teachers should provide suggestions on how students might adapt the idea so that it is useful while still preserving the novelty. For students to be willing to express their creativity, they must feel that their ideas, especially those that are unconventional, are welcome in the classroom. Students can be taught how and when to express novel ideas so that they are appropriate and useful within a given context. By recognizing novelty and helping students calibrate that novelty so that it is appropriate and useful, teachers can go a long way in supporting and promoting student creativity.
