Rigorous Whimsy: Understanding Through Creativity

Description:

Creativity is content agnostic. Explore joy-filled creative pathways using words, images, sounds, “stuff”, the body, and social media for all learners to demonstrate content knowledge, critical thinking, and problem solving. Structured to maximize takeaways and first hand experience, learn how explanation, rationale, and intentionality elevate our classrooms into places where students shift from passive riders to active adventurers.
