What does creativity mean?
What does ?creativity? mean to NAE educators? I asked a number of NAE
educators the same 3 questions related to creativity, with a request to
send me their answers in a face-to-camera video. This video collates the
responses, discussing the concept of creativity as understood by these
educators (and giving me a chance to practice my own creativity).
My thanks to all who participated!

I?m Shane, the NAE Teaching fellow for EAL. I?m currently collecting information on what EAL
learners need across our group of schools. As such, if you can spare two minutes, please
complete the questionnaire below about EAL provision on your school. This will help inform
future NAU professional development opportunities. I am looking forward to reading your
responses.
