Career Opportunities
Teachers need to have their own creativity nurtured. Most teachers haven't been taught the fundamentals nor the neuroscience of imagination. Previously we didn't realise it was so important for future minds. That's ok, now we know.
We want to improve our critical and creative thinking, so we'll need to invest in the continual development of our teachers imaginative capabilities. This course is for psychology and education students.
