The initiative aims to transform primary school learning through play-based pedagogy and technology that promote student-centered, active learning. In 2020, the Brazilian Creative Learning Network (Rede Brasileira do Aprendizagem Criativa [RBAC]) proposed a collaboration with public administrators, school  \nleaders, and teachers to promote policies that encourage such playful learning approaches. With funding from the LEGO Foundation and the Lehman Foundation, CSP was established to help state and municipal education departments build the policy frameworks and teacher support systems needed to make schools more engaging and learner-centered.  \nTo study how local education departments supported teachers in implementing and adapting creative learning (CL) in their classrooms, research was conducted by a team from the Social Economy Research and Studies Laboratory at the University of São Paulo (LEPES), supported by the Education Development Center (EDC) as Tech & Play’s research lead. The study also examined contextual factors shaping implementation at both department and classroom levels. This brief shares insights from  \nthat research to inform future programs seeking to strengthen teacher instruction by identifying effective strategies, essential supports, and potential challenges in scaling student-centered pedagogies.  \n2  \nBackground  \nCreative  \nLearning Theory  \nThe creative learning approach is based primarily on the work of Seymour Papert and Mitch Resnick, but is also influenced by the ideas of Piaget, Freire, Montessori, and other educational thinkers. Starting with Papert’s theory of constructionism,[1] Creative Learning highlightshow the experiences of creating something using the Scratch programming language “helps children learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.”[2] As a learning model, CL uses the “4 Ps” of projects, passion, peers, and play. The theory maintains that children learn best when they are building something meaningful to them, whether it’s a house, a poem, or a computer program.  \nCreative Learning views learning as a spiral process rather than a linear one. Learners imagine what they want to create, then build and experiment with materials and ideas, share their creations, and reflect on what they have learned, looping back to reimagine new projects and solutions. Importantly, these steps need not always happen in the same sequence.  \n3  \nCreative Schools Program Model  \nLaunched in 2020 by the Brazilian Creative Learning Network (RBAC), the Creative Schools Program (CSP) supports state and municipal secretariats of education (SOEs) in transitioning to creative learning pedagogies. The CSP program model differs from the Tech & Play projects in Kenya and Rwanda, both of which provided training directly to teachers. CSP leveraged the existing RBAC network to create a two-pronged strategy combining bottom-up and top-down approaches to support implementation.  \nBottom-Up Approach. CSP encourages all teachers in participating SOEsto engage with RBAC, an online community of more than 40,000 educators across Brazil who share ideas and resources to promote fun, engaging, and meaningful creative learning experiences for children and youth. The RBAC network is an open, inviting online community that aims to offer easy ways for teachers to try innovative, Creative Learning activities and to connect with other teachers across Brazil who are also motivated to try something new.  \nTop-Down Approach. CSP partners with SOEs to design structured professional development programs that train teachers in Creative Learning at the school and municipal levels. Each SOE works with a handful of Focal Schools which get direct support with training","cbCaio4rVzZkluac","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio4rVzZkluac","pdf",2717223,14,"English","# Introduction\n# Background\n## Creative Learning Theory\n# Creative Schools Program Model\n## Bottom-Up Approach\n## Top-Down Approach\n# Creative Schools Program Model (CSP scope and strands)\n## Advocacy and Communication\n## Professional Development\n## Curricular Integration and Community Engagement\n# CL Implementation Study","[{\"question\":\"What is the Creative Schools Program (CSP) and what does it aim to do?\",\"answer\":\"CSP supports Brazilian state and municipal education departments in transitioning to creative learning pedagogies and building self-sustaining communities.
