How can creativity be released in the face of constraints, such as high-stakes testing demands? I discuss application of the 4-C Creativity Model in learning spaces across China, Canada, and Australia. Based on my book Revealing Creativity: Exploration in Transnational Education Cultures (Springer), I describe my innovative method for addressing obstacles to creativity that are both environmental and personal. Through an encounter with the 4-C Creativity Model (originated by researchers Kaufman and Beghetto), I reveal ways to guide creative expression among diverse cultural groups. Session attendees may choose to adapt the dynamic model to reveal creativity in their own settings.
