Abstract
Independence and critical thinking are crucial for survival in our contemporary world. Learners and new teachers in training should be trusted to discover and develop their own voice in teaching and learning and be encouraged to surrender expectation to produce predetermined outcomes by strictly following scripted curriculum because it is detrimental to learners and teachers alike as it does not foster independence and critical thinking. Through engaging in creative teaching and learning practices that encourage imagination, questioning, observation and reflection we can see beyond what is perceived as normal and understandable and seek new ways to interpret reality and experience things of everyday life as well as learn to listen to our students and support them in their own discovery.

Résumé
L’indépendance et la pensée critique sont cruciales pour la survie dans notre monde contemporain. Il faut avoir confiance que les apprenants et les nouveaux enseignants découvriront et développeront leur propre voix en enseignement et en apprentissage et qu’ils seront encouragés à abandonner l’attente de produire des résultats prédéterminés en suivant strictement le programme d’études, qui ne favorise pas l’autonomie et l’esprit critique. En nous engageant dans des pratiques d’enseignement et d’apprentissage créatives qui encouragent l’imagination, le questionnement, l’observation et la réflexion, nous pouvons voir au-delà du normal et compréhensible. Nous pourrons alors découvrir de nouvelles façons d’interpréter la réalité et de vivre le quotidien ainsi qu’apprendre à écouter à nos étudiants et les accompagner dans leurs propres découvertes.
