ABSTRACT
Summary: With economic prosperity being linked to a nation’s creativity, more pressure has been put on educators to nurture creativity and innovation in students. However, educators often feel overwhelmed by the prospect of fitting one more thing into their already standards-crowded curriculum. How can they teach academic content, basic skills, attend to the social and emotional needs of the students, and nurture creativity, too? Future Problem Solving is offered as a program that can be infused into the existing content to support the learning of academic content, introduce and reinforce critical skills, address social and emotional needs, and promote the tendency toward innovative thinking, too.
