    8个方面以培养创造力

    足够的自由 Adults need the ability to make personal and professional choices. Though choices can sometimes seem limited, are there some situations with which you can make choices about what goes on in your early care and learning setting? For example, how about choosing materials, or organizing experiences based on the interests of the infants and toddlers in your care?
    Challenging work 与婴儿和幼儿一起使用有时会挑战。然而,正如您在本课程中的阅读,挑战往往是我们提出创造性解决问题的机会。欢迎挑战作为了解更多和加强您的专业技能的方法。
    适当的资源 我们都需要工具和资源来完成我们的工作。适当的资源(如规划工具,资源库,课堂用品和计划,反思和支持时间)是感受创造性的先决条件。重要的是您需要完成工作所需的工具。
    支持性主管 我们都可以识别我们生命中的个人,他们担任导师,他们激发了我们实现伟大事物,或者在面临挑战或困难时提供了指导和支持。重要的是,您有机会定期与主管会面,以便在课堂上讨论课堂上的内容,并在必要时进行头脑风暴解决问题。这些交流对您的专业发展至关重要,并允许您学习和成长。
    多样化和交际的同事 成为一名个人团队成员的一个很大的好处之一,您可以了解与您有类似的专业活动的人,他们可能会与您有类似的兴趣,并且可能会处理类似的问题,担心或工作场所的挑战。了解您的同事使您能够建立连接和友谊,这将有助于您感受动力和更强大。您可以激励他人并受到您的同事的启发!
    Recognition Positive, creative ideas and efforts should be recognized. In the same way your supervisors acknowledge good efforts and ideas, you can recognize colleagues or supervisors who help inspire and lead your team to success.
    A sense of cooperation 创意空间是协作空间。人们应该感到安全地分享想法 - 即使是他们不认为的想法也会有效。团队成员可以支持彼此及其创意。
    支持创造力的组织 在寻求培养创造力的情况下,你并不孤单。一个真正的创意工作场所在每个级别都能连贯操作。您的整个团队应优先考虑并识别创造力。

    What Does it Mean To Be a Creative Infant and Toddler Caregiver?

    关于成为创意婴儿和幼儿照顾者的一些观点是什么?暂停几分钟来思考这一点。

    As you have been working through this course, you likely recognized that creativity is a crucial part of the human experience: It helps us rise to challenges, overcome obstacles, and create opportunities. Creativity is important because it demonstrates openness to new experiences. These experiences include having a good imagination, experiencing and valuing feelings, trying new things based on individual interests, and having a curious mindset (Kaufman, 2009, p.85).

    In Lesson One, you had an opportunity to explore some of your own views on creativity. This final lesson will extend on this exploration by encouraging you to think about creativity in your workplace and ask yourself what it means to be a creative infant and toddler caregiver.

    在与婴儿,幼儿和家庭的合作中,您有责任创建一个有意义的体验,这些经历在全天内纳入创造力。作为创造性的照顾者,可以以多种不同的方式表达。以下是一些考虑:
