Participatory Creativity: Introducing Access and Equity to the Creative Classroom presents a systems-based approach to examining creativity in education that aims to make participating in invention and innovation accessible to all students. Moving beyond the gifted-versus-ungifted debate present in many of today’s classrooms, the book’s inclusive framework situates creativity as a participatory and socially distributed process. The core principle of the book is that individuals are not creative, ideas are creative, and that there are multiple ways for a variety of individuals to participate in the development of creative ideas. This dynamic reframing of invention and innovation provides strategies for teachers, curriculum designers, policymakers, researchers, and others who seek to develop a more equitable approach towards establishing creative learning experiences in various educational settings.

"Whatever the validity of the "great man/great woman" view of creativity, it makes creativity seem beyond the grasp of most of us. In this refreshingly innovative book, Edward Clapp puts forth a capacious view of creativity which has powerful implications for education."--Howard Gardner, John H. and Elizabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education and Senior Director of Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA"A must-read for all educators aiming to understand creativity and cultivate it in others. Clapp masterfully reviews the historical frames and fallacies of individual theories of creativity. His detailed depictions of how creative ideas socially emerge—ranging from the theory of relativity to hip-hop—reveal the power of collective creativity and how educators can better design experiences for it."--Daniel Wilson, Director of Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA"In Participatory Creativity, Edward P. Clapp describes the next wave of creativity theory in easily accessible terms and applies the theory to education. His work is at once sophisticated, provocative, and thoroughly rooted in practice. Few concepts are as important to education today as the participatory theories that Clapp presents. This is must-read material for teachers, educational administrators, and policymakers."--Michael Hanchett Hanson, Director of the Masters Concentration in Creativity and Cognition at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA, and author of Worldmaking: Psychology and the Ideology of Creativity"A fresh narrative on creativity that every teacher needs to hear. Clapp makes a compelling case that all students can participate in the creative process and offers immediately actionable steps for cultivating a community of innovation in your classroom and school."--A.J. Juliani, author of LAUNCH and Inquiry & Innovation in the Classroom
