NAN E. HATHAWAY (nhathaway2{at}myfairpoint.net) is a middle school art teacher in Duxbury, Vt., and past chair of the National Association for Gifted Children Creativity Network. DIANE B. JAQUITH (dbjaquith{at}gmail.com) is an elementary art teacher in Newton, Mass. Together, they are editors of The Learner-Directed Classroom: Developing Creative Thinking Skills through Art (Teachers College Press, 2012). Abstract Leading education thinker Sir Ken Robinson says transformation is essential to bring creative thinking into schools and recommends three major changes: Dispense with subject hierarchy, focus on curricular disciplines instead of subjects, and elevate personalization. Change will come when students take ownership of their learning to fit their needs and interests. This is already happening in progressive art classrooms across the nation. School systems seeking greater creativity can learn from these art educators who are carrying forward the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) grassroots movement.
