Abstract
This paper explores the considerations in designing professional learning for teachers for the purpose of supporting student creativity. A study of relevant literature informed the design of a professional learning series for teachers in a
large urban school board, revealing similarities between creativity, maker education, design thinking, and effective professional learning. Observations indicated that teachers engaged in processes that could support student creativity.
