David asked for ideas on nourishing creativity and innovation in ABE. 
Creativity would rank next to the highest on Bloom's taxonomy, 
suggesting that there is a process leading to it. Yet, so many people 
with very limited Bloom skills are highly creative and very efficient 
survivalists. Hmmm...

I would suggest that failure is a great lead into creativity, but one 
we wouldn't want to promote.

Incentives can be great motivators for creativity and innovation 
among teachers and students, and one I would love to see promoted 
more. I also believe that creativity burns more in some than in 
others, so building teams with diverse strengths which include 
creative people by nature would produce great results.
