Help Us Creativity Researchers, You're Our Only Hope

I propose suggestions for how creativity can be fostered in the classroom and what creativity researchers can do to facilitate creative growth in students. Suggestions include closing the creativity gap between current education policy and current societal values of creativity, better training of teachers on how to teach creativity, creativity researchers becoming more active and vocal advocates of education policy supporting creativity in the classroom, and changing the language authors use away from a need to enhance creativity and toward the view that creativity needs to be encouraged.
