If you could design your own “School of Creativity,” what classes or experiences might you include?
Today's crew answered a simple question:
If you could design your own School of Creativity, what would you teach and how would people learn?
The crew explored learning styles, program design, safety in learning, mentorship, mixed media delivery, and even angel investing as a creative path.
The theme:
creativity flourishes when people can choose how they learn, feel safe to explore, and have access to both wisdom and practical tools.
Back-to-school season isn’t just for kids. Today the team reframed “school” as a flexible, human-centric space where curiosity leads and structure supports.

In this special episode of the Creative Work Hour podcast, we’re treated to a unique behind-the-scenes moment—a practice session for Wai-Ling Fong as she prepares to defend her PhD dissertation. Wai-Ling shares her research on the long-term impact of the Online Course Design Primer (OCDP) implemented at George Mason University during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her study evaluates how this training influenced faculty teaching practices over time. After her presentation, Creative Work Hour members provide valuable feedback to help her refine her final defense.
