//Patrick F. Bassett// The president of NAIS develops the arguments from Dan Pink (//A Whole New Mind//), Sir Ken Robinson (//Out of Our Minds: Learning To Be Creative//), and Edward de Bono (//Six Hats Thinking//) to make the case for increased attention to teaching creativity and creative thinking for students, educators, and schools.
