As a product of old school traditional training, I find that my personal music making and teaching usually lacks the creativity to explore improvisation or composition with my students. I am not sure why, but if it's not written out for me on a page, I find it to be quite intimidating. As a teacher, I think it's important that I foster this creativity in my students so they don't develop the same fears of creating music without a score.
