Guided by its arts educators, every school can learn to design activities that foster the serious play of a creatively invested learner. Bring arts educators into one's planning meetings; give them opportunities at faculty meetings to catalyze teachers' creative instincts. This effort does not require a new program or new curriculum. Teachers already know how to teach more creatively. They just need a little permission and a little courage to do so--and arts educators can help them along the way. Presented in this article are three essential elements that belong dead center in any discussion of creativity in schooling--three healthy and delicious main courses from the arts that do not require additional blocks of arts instruction time and that can improve an anemic education diet. These essential elements are: (1) intrinsic motivation; (2) the essential skills of creativity; and (3) inquiry-based learning. (Contains 7 resources.)
