Empowering, Entertaining, and Perfectly Designed for Tweens & Teens!

YOU NEED THIS BOOK. "I have found another way to introduce convergent and divergent thinking with my kiddos. He provides a 30 day plan to get them thinking! I don't know about you but my kids want to have the "right" answer and have it now. They are not good at really thinking deeply and not using the shallow responses they have. They also will just say I don't know or that's all I can think of if a question is challenging... I feel this book will enable me to explain and get them to not be so afraid of giving a "dumb" answer... I loved this book and can NOT wait to use it in my classroom in just a few weeks!!" Amazon Review 🔗
"..My son could use this at home and would enjoy it. He is creative, and this would foster how to channel his creativity in productive ways. Many people are born with high potential, but they can’t tap into it if they don’t know how to use it with intention beyond entertainment purposes or hobbies.
This book helps people see how to use critical thinking skills and creativity in ways that lead to action..." Amazon Review 🔗
"This resource pulls together an impressive set of convergent and divergent thinking tools and activities. I am looking forward to using the 30 days of creativity activities in my gifted classroom!" Amazon Review 🔗
Does your principal only trust John Hattie?
Hey, I get it. I'm a licensed school administrator. I would probably ask my teachers for the research, too.
Need some research? Hattie's Visible Learning🔗 states that programs with an effect size of greater than +0.40 can lead to more than one year's worth of growth in one school year.
Creativity Programs🔗 have an effect size of +0.62.
Problem-Solving Programs🔗 have an effect size of +0.68.
Bottom line: Teaching these skills has a strong potential to accelerate learning!
