Dr. Afzal Hosseini: We analyze videos of teachers teaching in real-time, providing them with valuable insights into their teaching style and performance.

A QUICK INTRODUCTION ABOUT WHAT YOUR COMPANY DOES/YOUR VALUES/MISSION.

 
What is Adeptivity? Adeptivity is a software that empowers teachers’ creativity in the classroom. It analyzes videos of teachers teaching in real-time, providing them with valuable insights into their teaching style and performance. Based on this analysis, Adeptivity generates personalized courses for each teacher, designed to help them implement new and creative teaching methods.

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?

As an Iranian and international researcher, I have devoted over 27 years of scientific and practical work to the study of creativity in education. This endeavor has resulted in the authoring of dozens of books, over a hundred articles, and the conducting of numerous educational workshops and courses, both short-term and long-term, on the development of creativity in life and education.

I have designed a model for the development of creativity in the classroom, from primary school to university, the efficacy of which has been demonstrated through several research projects, the results of which have been presented in various academic publications.

My research has shown that even in non-creative and unsuitable environments, this model can bring about a significant transformation in the classroom, leading to growth in creativity among both teachers and students.

Given the pressing need for creative problem-solving and innovation in today’s societies, particularly in the educational realm, the significance of this model and program cannot be overstated.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME A YEAR OR TWO, WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOURSELF?

 
Two years ago, I could have dedicated more resources to expand this topic within my community. However, in the past 1.5 years, I have successfully trained over 250 teachers and individuals interested in creativity through coaching courses conducted both online and in-person. Responding to the urgency of society’s needs, I have scaled up my efforts accordingly.

WHAT PROBLEM DOES YOUR BUSINESS SOLVE?

As we move into the third millennium, widely regarded as the Millennium of Creativity, I believe that I can offer a scientifically and practically grounded perspective on creativity to members of society, especially teachers, thereby enhancing their creativity as well as that of their students. My approach emphasizes aligning the implementation of the curriculum with the needs of today’s era.

Adeptivity gives schools the means to access and empower teacher’s creativity and allow them to aquire the tools to grow their students creativity as well.

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND YOUR BUSINESS?

 
Many of my audience members, including teachers, parents, administrators, and lesson planners, have provided positive feedback on the changes they experienced after undergoing creativity training. They report heightened awareness, improved communication, and enhanced teaching methods.

WHAT IS YOUR MAGIC SAUCE?

What sets my work apart is the innovative and creative model I have developed through practical scientific studies, and the repeated implementation and scientific evaluation of this model across different groups and fields. I have published many academic papers on it and then I made that research to a business since 2021 in Iran and now in Canada.

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE?

Looking ahead, my vision for the next five years involves expanding the model globally, enabling creativity among people in society, and fostering a wealth of creative ideas, inventions, and innovations that contribute to holistic development.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU’VE FACED SO FAR?

Our greatest challenge lies in promoting awareness of the importance of creativity and the role it plays in achieving success and leading dynamic, active, and meaningful lives. I hope that others will join me in recognizing that creativity, knowledge, and the use of our techniques and models can facilitate fundamental and transformative changes in our lives, leading to greater happiness, peace, and tranquility.

HOW DO PEOPLE GET INVOLVED/BUY INTO YOUR VISION?

We need to create a alliance with the education leaders and organizations in Canada that want to improve the quality of the education.
