“TEACHING OUT OF THE BOX”
presents the 3rd Annual
Summer Creativity Institute!
A dynamic and creative experience for Teachers and creative souls with two days of wonderful workshops! We hope that you will be able join us for this informative and fun event.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY, AUGUST 7-8, 2013
The Summer Creativity Institute is a two-day hands-on retreat that we’ve designed for teachers and educators, however, we’ve discovered that many of our regular attendees are what we call “creative souls,” and who come for new techniques, creative inspiration and personal growth. This year we are extending an official invitation to EVERYONE.
We will join together to learn simple but effective ways to integrate creative activities into our classrooms, our curriculum and our lives. Activities will feature literacy instruction that will stimulate, motivate and enhance student learning. Dynamic workshops explore the most recent brain science on how we learn and learn more effectively and, with a focus on environmental responsibility and an awareness of the budget constraints of schools, we use recycled and “upcycled” materials in many of the projects. Learn how to be creative on a shoestring budget and how to promote literacy through the exciting practice of “Art Journaling” and various styles of poetry. Abandon your fears of teaching creatively and experience our belief that Creative Is A State of Mind. Find out how you can integrate the arts, poetry, technology and nature-based learning into your classroom and your life. Come and network with likeminded individuals, make new friends, join professional artists, writers and educators for this informative, inspiring and spirit building event and leave with a box full of new ideas to enhance your teachings! This event is open to all traditional and non-traditional educators as well as artists, crafters and creativity seekers.
