Whilst creativity is perceived as an important twenty-first century skill, current research suggests that educators generally do not have a good understanding on how to teach this type of skill, confusing it at times with creative teaching. This paper seeks to respond to educators' needs in this regard by addressing the meaning of creativity, as well as providing examples on how to develop creativity by using models and strategies that have been found in the research to be effective evidence based frameworks that foster creativity in an inclusive classroom context.
