E. Paul Torrance, the granddaddy of creative education mentioned by Berenice Bleedorn in her comment above, will be recognized and celebrated next month in Minneapolis during the National Association for Gifted Children's national conference (see: http://nagc.org/index.aspx?id=2322 ). This includes a reunion of some of the "Torrance Kids" -- now in their 60s who were young children when Torrance began studying their creativity nearly 50 years ago in Minnesota. They have been tracked throughout this period and several follow-up studies have been published.
