"I'm not creative".
Have you ever said this? As we will hear from today's guest, Jane Harbison, creativity is a Process. If we follow this process, we will become better at making more creative lessons that engage our students.

Jane takes us through the 5 stages of creativity:
1. Saturate
2. Percolate
3. Create
4. Celebrate
5. Rejuvinate

Check our Jane's quiz for teachers to help discover their creative process: https://www.dreamingbigforlittlegirls.com/quizteachers/
