Abstract
Creativity is needed now to solve problems, develop products, and become better thinkers. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused people to think differently in every aspect of our society. We now need to help students learn how to think more creatively, how to collaborate with others, and how to implement innovations. However, many students face challenges that affect their social and emotional learning, thus negatively impacting their creativity. Teachers can employ different strategies and skills that can break through these barriers and develop a systems approach that can produce student creative success. There are many technical and non-technical skills and strategies for creative thinking, collaboration, and innovation implementation that teachers can use. If used jointly, these skills and strategies will generate a management systems approach to creativity.
