ABSTRACT
The ultimate aim of signature thinking is to help teachers and school leaders breach beyond the classroom level to establish a viable creative ecosystem that will help more students uncover their signatures more often. Initiative overload is a long and tiresome tradition in K12 education. This ornamental or decorative approach to creative thinking is not only unhelpful to productive creativity but, more importantly, also a waste of precious classroom time. One of the best ways to create more creative teachers is to embrace a culture of piloting within the school. The teaching staff must have license to tinker and dabble with small-scale pivots to instruction and assessment in order to make signature thinking happen school-wide.
