Abstract	The purpose of this study is to examine teacher perceptions of the long-term transformative impact of Piirto's Creativity Model and personal creativity exploration on teachers. Creativity training has been part of Ashland University's Talent Development program for over 20 years using Piirto's creativity model. The course encompasses multiple models of creativity, including the Torrance Incubation Model and Creative Problem Solving; however, significant time focuses on teachers' own creativity through activities such as thoughtlogs, a Meditation Day field trip, and a personal creativity project. This study examines alumni perceptions of personal creativity exploration on their teaching lives. Data were collected through surveys and interviews. Questions include course memories, perception of the course's impact on teaching and personal transformation. Results show that the course models community and group trust, and teachers increased understanding and valuing of their own creativity and that of students. (As Provided).
