“In today’s rapidly changing

world, people must

continually come up with

creative solutions to

unexpected problems.

Success is based not only on

what you know or how much

you know, but on your ability

to think and act creatively.”

(Resnick 2008)

Creative Thinking Spiral

model creative thinking
