Creative teachers are the heart and soul of creative classrooms. Their creativity radiates outward filling their classrooms and the minds of their students with the excitement and joy of learning. They design multi-faceted lesson plans and work with their students to inspire imagination, self-confidence, self-expression and curiosity. They nurture research skills, creative problem-solving and collaboration and, in so doing, align their learning objectives with the Framework for 21st Century Skills. This workshop will offer participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in a 21st century learning environment, identifying, activating and facilitating the development of these 21st century capacities among one another. Educators at every level will be invited to build on their instincts, their individual teaching and learning styles and their techniques for creative engagement. Our goal is nothing short of transforming our classrooms into living laboratories for learning, creativity and the nurturing of confident, compassionate, entrepreneurial citizens. Come see what we can do together.
