The Young Gifted Child, Anita Gimple Creativity Killers: 1. Not really listening to student ideas and suggestions. 2. Not having the room set up for collaboration and team building. 3. Viewing conversations that are possibly off-subject as a problem, instead of letting the student find and express the connection that prompted them to say what they did.

Creativity Producers: 1. Letting students express and follow their areas of interest whenever it is feasible. 2. Letting students act out history or act out math story problems. 3. Allowing for student suggested variations in projects or assignments.
