"The modern science of creativity began with Guilford's presidential address to the American Psychological Association in 1950. Most of the early research following Guildford's address was in the field of psychology with a focus on measuring creativity and thus little or no overt connection to educational leadership"-- Provided by publisher.

Diverse models and frameworks capture the state of the field with a focus on cognitive, social, and cultural areas of creativity in education. Barriers and supports to creativity are examined in educational policy, assessment, curriculum, classroom environments, and school contexts.This handbook is designed to propagate new research and applications in the field by helping students, researchers and program evaluators understand and apply these models of creativity to how students,teachers and leaders enact creativity in learning, teaching, and leading.
