The Creative Classroom with John Spencer
John Spencer·10 episodes
I want to see teachers transform classrooms into spaces of creativity and wonder. So, here's where I explore what it means to make this a reality.
Why listen
The Creative Classroom with John Spencer gives teachers short, practical reflections on building classrooms where creativity, inquiry, student ownership, and thoughtful technology use are part of everyday learning. Most episodes feel like a focused teaching blog post turned into audio, with occasional guest conversations on AI, creativity, project-based learning, collaboration, and classroom design. It is a strong fit for K-12 educators who want concrete ideas without a long interview format.
