Over the last several decades educational reform has been a subject of intense discussions and debates in the United States and in other countries. Despite numerous proposals and initiatives, no major new direction has emerged, and the state of American education today is little different from where it was three decades ago. At the same time, there is a growing pressure due to enormous changes in many spheres of our life—most importantly in technology, information, and economy--to make our education more relevant to the demands of our time. The demand for creativity and knowledge is arguably the one that particularly stands out in modern society.

The article also outlines the contours on a new educational practice that centers on the process of creation.
