DEVELOPING CONFIDENT LEARNERS

Learn with Creative Confidence (LwCC) is a K-6 asset-based curriculum that develops a student’s values, perspectives and identity, or Belief Ecology. The 10 Principles of Creativity empower students with a constructive vocabulary to make connections, reflect on their work habits and learning, and problem-solve across a variety of contexts and settings.

A HEALTHY BELIEF ECOLOGY

In the education space, Learn with Creative Confidence is unique as it’s the only curriculum grounded in Belief Ecology. Belief Ecology is a set of beliefs, values, and attitudes based on an individual’s knowledge, skills, and dispositions that help motivate and guide their behavior. This intrapersonal awareness influences one’s ability and desire to deploy learned social and emotional skills, while encouraging a growth mindset, improved self-efficacy and openness in children.

THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF CREATIVITY

The 10 Principles of Creativity and their Mantras are the pillars of our program. Embedded across all academic content, the Principles provide a consistent, constructive vocabulary for educators to develop and build their students creative confidence as learners.

WHY IT MATTERS

Creative confidence helps us as individuals and helps the organizations we’re a part of. Legendary Stanford psychology professor Albert Bandura has shown that “our belief systems affect our actions, goals, and perception. Individuals who come to believe that they can effect change in their lives and worlds are more likely to accomplish what they set out to do. [They] set their sights higher, try harder, persevere longer, and show more resilience in the face of [adversity].” (Source: “Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All” by David Kelley and Tom Kelley)
