A little about Michelle and a lot about creativity...
Michelle Korenfeld - author, painter, poet, lifelong educator and creativity researcher for the past 20 years, Dean's excellence in Education leadership, administration and policy MA, brings a fresh breeze to the learning school bag, with creativity facilitation throughout the learning rainbow.
Wrote 10 creativity learning books - writing, drawing and painting. Believes that much of the social-emotional problems are based on aggression that derives from stifled creativity. To free such creative thinking, we need to construct creative learning opportunities for self-expression that will lead to excellence, through self-directedness that comes from teachers believing in children and youth's strengths.

Michelangelo in the 21st Century book review
For years I beheld Michelle Koreneld’s facilitating and researching skills. We profoundly conversed toward the lessons she taught at the Dr Erica Landau Institute, when she crystalized her strategy, and toward writing her books. I was deeply impressed by the teaching-learning skills her books trans-disciplinarily provide basis for, while weaving non-formal educational methods into formal education and leveraging students’ curiosity for research and meaningful learning.
Michelle strongly believes in the strengths treasured in todays’ teachers and students. Michelle consolidated the teaching-learning methods she developed and researched during her academic studies to 5 E’s – 5 principles: Explore, Experience, Examine, Elevate, and Express. I identify with these principles wholeheartedly and believe they will open up new horizons of creativity and excellence to students.

"I an enjoying reading. The contents dovetail quite well as one concept is scaffolded to another rather than kept in isolation. For example, the nexus between SEL & Creativity. I like the diamond illustration to help engage students with the 5Es and their interconnections. The illustrations are endearing and thought provoking.
I can't wait to finish it!"
