Creativity is increasingly recognised as an essential higher order thinking skill for learning, life and work.

A new online creativity measuring tool, Brewstometer (www.brewstometer.org.uk), was launched this week at SLF.

The Brewstometer introduces the principles of creativity and helps learners reflect upon and evaluate any creative experience they had recently, this could include a lesson, a workshop, a performance, a gallery visit or project.

As an online resource, practitioners can use the Brewstometer as best suited to their learning environment needs, whether it be a whole class or small groups or one-to-one. The Brewstometer has been developed by Creative Scotland and Education Scotland as part of Scotland’s Creative Learning Plan.
