SCAMPER!!  What comes to mind when you read this word?  SCAMPER is a strategy that students in the Inspiration program will be using this year.  Developed by Robert Eberle, SCAMPER is an acronym using verbs as a springboard for brainstorming and problem solving.  SCAMPER may be used in any subject in large or small groups.  It fosters creativity and critical thinking as it encourages the production of new ideas.
