Abstract

The chapter addresses institutional challenges that exclude underrepresented and underserved students from developing their creative potential. The definition of this category of students appears in Section 2, while the analysis of institutional challenges is in Section 3. The discussion points to the need of formulating alternative approaches and methods to the creativity of regular students. Section 4 proposes such a method of analysis leading to the assessment of the nature of the displayed creative insight. The method is applied to the collection of Aha! moments in the Appendix and classified into three categories: mild, normal, and strong. It measures the degree of progress in understanding reached during the insight. While developed originally with classroom mathematical insights, some of the capital C creativity Aha! moments of the collection fit neatly into the scheme. The new methodology of assessment is geared to the creativity of rank-and-file students who because of their low mathematical skill level have been excluded from being considered creative.
