Introduction to Applied Creative ThinkingHere is a new text that fullls an emerging need in both higher and public education and stands to break new

ground in addressing critical skills required of graduates.

When working on their last book  , It Works for Me, Creatively, the authors realized that the future belongs to right-brained. While Daniel Pink and other visionaries may have oversimplied a

higher education is ripe for the creative campus, while secondary education is des-

 perately seeking a complement to the growing assessment/teach-to-the-test mentali

You don’t have to study the 2010 IBM survey of prominent American CEOs to kno

that the number one skill business wants is students who can think creatively.

To meet the demand of new courses, programs, and curricula, the authors have dev

oped a 200-page “textbook” suitable for secondary or higher education courses tha

are jumping on this bandwagon. Introduction to Applied Creative Thinking , as the t

suggests, focuses not on just developing the skills necessary for creative thinking, b

on having students apply those skills; after all, true creative thinking demands mak

something that is both novel and useful. Such a book may also be used successfull by professional developers in business and education.

For this book, Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet are joined in authorship by Rus

Carpenter. He not only directs Eastern Kentucky University’s Noel Studio for Aca

demic Creativity but has co-edited a book on that subject, Higher Education, Emer

ing Technologies, and Community Partnerships (2011) and the forthcoming Cases

 Higher Education Spaces (2012).

   Introduction to Applied Creative Thinking is student-friendly. Every chapter

is laced with exercises, assignments, summaries, and generative spaces. Order copies now or contact the publisher fo

further information.
