Collaborative Creativity: Educating for Creative Development, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship speaks to educators, administrators, educational designers, government officials, and parents about a new way of being educationally in the world. It aims to help invent new educational ecosystems that speak to collaborative creativity. This volume provides a view of what an educational culture of collaborative creativity could look like through a journey from theory to practice. Collaborative creativity is a contemporary educational imperative. The complex social, economic and cultural challenges that lie before us require that creativity be a collaborative pursuit leveraging diversity along with regional and global interconnectedness to maximize positive outcomes. They require more than creative individuals acting on their own. They require a view forward to bring interconnected, varied and frequently distributed potential collaborators together to innovate for the benefit of others. Although there is a desire to bring collaboration and creativity for innovation into mainstream educational practice or into the fabric of corporate culture there is a dire need to provide educators, teacher education programs and facilitators in diverse corporate and government cultures with contemporary research as well as concrete methods and ideas on how to operationalize this at the institutional level on the shop floor. This book is designed to address that need. This book is designed to be both a foundational teacher education textbook at graduate and undergraduate levels as well as an important reference book for corporate and governmental educator/facilitators wishing to develop a culture of collaborative creativity.
