Support our Creatives Some of us are operating in the space between curriculum, industry and creativity. We get the best from our creatives by providing an environment in which they can experiment. We need to foster curiosity. The resources are available, start with colleagues on Twitter, attend TeachMeets and make contact with communities around your school. @DonnaComerford
