To make different forms of creativity definable, creativity researchers have distinguished between four levels of creativity, establishing the Four-C Model of Creativity: mini-c, little-c, Pro-c and Big-C.
After many years of research Mel ended up describing Creativity by developing the 4 Ps: Person, Product, Process, Press.
Each element is a characteristic part of the whole of creativity and cannot be separated from the others.
And yet, each part represents one or other commonly held view of what creativity is.
The 21st century learning skills are often called the 4 C's: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating.
These skills help students learn, and so they are vital to success in school and beyond.
