Can defining success help us establish a culture of innovation?
I have another post about creating an Innovation Portfolio using character strengths....I wanted to share something that Cheryl Reynolds-Fefles shared that I thought could help us add to the mind-set that will be needed before opening the ""pop-up classroom / maker space in a box / unclassroom box" I' picturing a warning label that reads, "Before opening this box you are making a commitment to :

Develop Craft: Learning to use tools, materials, artistic conventions; and learning to care for tools, materials, and space.
Engage & Persist: Learning to embrace problems of relevance within the art world and/or of personal importance, to develop
focus conducive to working and persevering at tasks.
Envision: Learning to picture mentally what cannot be directly observed and imagine possible next steps in making a piece.
Express: Learning to create works that convey an idea, a feeling, or a personal meaning.
Observe: Learning to attend to visual contexts more closely than ordinary “looking” requires, and thereby to see things that
otherwise might not be seen.
Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and, learning to judge one’s
own work and working process and the work of others.
Stretch & Explore: Learning to reach beyond one’s capacities, to explore playfully without a preconceived plan, and to embrace
the opportunity to learn from mistakes.
Understand Arts Community: Learning to interact as an artist with other artists i.e., in classrooms, in local arts organizations,
and across the art field) and within the broader society.
(SOME EDITS OF COURSE, AS IT IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE ARTS)
