Rethinking Curriculum and Creativity in Education.

Rethinking Curriculum and Creativity in Education.

In this compelling episode of Shifting Views with Willis, host Wayne Willis welcomes seasoned educator Darren Squires to discuss the urgent need for a new approach to education. Together, they explore the limitations of today’s curriculum and assessment practices and consider ways to adapt education to better prepare students for a dynamic world.


Key topics include:


Rethinking Curriculum and Creativity: Should traditional subjects like math, science, and literature be integrated into creative disciplines? How can we strike a balance that values literacy without stifling creativity?


New Approaches to Assessment: Today’s assessments often penalize students who understand concepts deeply but struggle with conventional literacy or numeracy. Is there a need for broader assessment methods that use technology, multimedia, storytelling, or podcasts to capture diverse expressions of understanding?


Emphasising Critical Thinking and Life Skills: How can education reform prioritize creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills that students need for real-world challenges?


Global Perspectives on Reform: Lessons from countries like Singapore show that vision and investment make educational transformation possible. What can we learn from these examples?


Funding and Future-Proofing Education: A funding shortfall limits reform efforts and undermines long-term planning. We examine the critical role of investment in reshaping education for future needs.


This conversation is essential for educators, policymakers, and leaders who seek a bold new vision for education—one that fosters creativity, values diverse skills, and prepares students for life beyond exams.
