Creativity in the 21st Century

There is a mismatch between what science knows and what education does.
 How can you, as a teacher leader, remodel the actual educational system based on rewards, to promote creative abilities of your 21 st Century students? 

After watching this video I believe, rewards system in education worked well in the past, all students were conditioned not only in school but at home and in society, However I am glad to see this model is changing, I agree with the video that this system can work but some people but limits others, the way that technology is moving and changind people reality leads to a need to think and act differently.

Me as a techer leader, will remodel the actual educational system based on rewards, by engaging the students with learning by letting them be creative, come up with ideas, try them, discuss them and make it theirs, instead of  having them focus on the reward and narrow their vision I would let the choose the way in wich they want to committ with projects, the way they would like to reflect, I would give them time to brainstorm, discuss and explore what their interests are and how can they come up with something new, I wil also move from the knowledge holder position and be open to learn from students, witch reality is different than mine, I would also like to make them think about the Idea of what would they like to be in life, followers or leaders.

I think that moving to a creative learning system can give students skills that will lead to different opportunities in their profesional life, I think they will choose an option closer to what they really like to do in their life,  They will be able to do better choices  instead of spending time studying a major they will never work on, like Dan Pink, the presenter, and also create their own opportunities intead of depending on a company.
