When we imagine young children becoming the innovators of the future, we envision them conducting science experiments to cure diseases, writing the next great novel, or creating a revolutionary digital tool that brings the world together. But how do we help our youngest learners bridge the gap from play-based learning to innovation? This book shares six easy-to-understand, yet powerful, steps that teachers can take to transform the learning experience into one in which critical and creative thinking are encouraged. This text features specific strategies, organisers, thinking starters (or curiosity catchphrases), and STEAM mini-lessons that can be used by teachers and other educational stakeholders to promote innovative thinking in children in Pre-K through grade 3. Topics of innovation addressed in this book include growth mindset, building empathy, making inferences, curiosity, developing meaningful connections with previous learning, self-reflection, and revision.

Creativity and critical thinking are key skills for complex, globalised and increasingly digitalised economies and societies. While teachers and education policy makers consider creativity and critical thinking as important learning goals, it is still unclear to many what it means to develop these skills in a school setting. To make it more visible and tangible to practitioners, the OECD worked with networks of schools and teachers in 11 countries to develop and trial a set of pedagogical resources that exemplify what it means to teach, learn and make progress in creativity and critical thinking in primary and secondary education.
