Creativity, Constructivism,and Accommodation of Difference

A thin thread of inter-connectivity runs through creativity, Constructivism and the Accomodation of Difference  in a cyclic manner:

The three elements help  draw out  the best in the learners because they each encourage the learners to be themselves in a learning situation.

 Accomodation of difference highlights the importance of giving appropriate weight to a child's opinion which in turn is borne out of a child's ability to actively construct knowledge through inquiry ; this blends with the child's natural creative ability that enables them to develop ideas that are unique and worthy of further elaboration (inquiry) and (scaffolding) and the process revolves around itself.
