After Teachers College Record published my study of excellence in creative teaching (coauthored with Punya Mishra), it’s been nice to have received some press and media interest. Most notably it was a thrill to have the study featured in the National Education Association (NEA) Magazine, as their online presence neaToday wrote about our work in an article titled:  How Teachers Stay Creative In the High-Stakes Testing Era.

And additionally, below are some of the other links to media reports and related publications:

• A media release prepared by Michigan State University that got the ball rolling (Thanks to Andy Henion for all his help with this):  America’s Best Teachers Get Creative. This was also posted on the College of Education’s website here.
• MSU Today, at the same time posted a profile of Dr. Henriksen: Learning from best
• An article in Quartz magazine: America’s best teachers use theater and rap to make kids like math
• A blog post on Science20: How exceptional Teachers use Creativity in the Classroom
• A blog post on Ed Week: Creativity and Making Great Teachers

For those interested in this line of work – here are a couple of other related articles that arose from this line of research:

• An article in Educational Leadership (Henriksen & Mishra, 2013): Creativity Now! Learning from Creative Teachers
• An article in the STEM Journal (Henriksen, 2014): Full STEAM Ahead: Creativity in Excellent STEM Teaching Practices
