In and outside of the classroom, we want our students to be creative in their skills. However, before students can create, they must first have a foundation to build upon. This week, Andrew and Julie talk about how imitation is the first step in learning any new skill, and they discuss the way in which imitation gives students the tools so that they can create or innovate within their new skill.
