How do you measure the creative potential of your students?

In part one of this double expresso episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Todd Lubart, a distinguished creativity researcher and Professor of Psychology at Université de Paris, joins hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett in an insightful conversation about measuring creative potential in education.

Dr. Lubart shares his expertise in defining creative potential as the ability to produce original and meaningful work and delves into the development of the EPoC (Evaluation of Potential Creativity) battery, a comprehensive tool designed to measure creative potential in children and adolescents across different domains.
