ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
The word creativity has become ubiquitous in the world of education. We see it in school mission statements, strategic plans, professional articles, conference titles, and TED Talks. As teachers and school leaders, we know that our students need creativity to be successful. Yet every day, we encounter young people who believe that creativity is either something they either have, or they don’t. How do we bring the creativity conversation down to earth and support our students in developing this essential disposition? This immersive workshop is designed to help K-12 teachers and administrators more effectively strengthen, cultivate, and assess creativity in the classroom.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Explore research and perspectives on creativity and discuss implications for K-12 educators and administrators
- Understand how to strengthen ideas and make creativity visible
- Engage with SEED (social interactions, experiences, environment, discoveries), a framework that encourages learners to approach creativity in a more collaborative, distributed, and equitable way
- Apply learning to their own teaching and learning environment
