SUMMARY:Webinar: How Creativity Will Save Schools
DESCRIPTION:How Creativity Will Save Schools\nMonday\, October 21st\, 7:00 pm CST\nPresenter: Chris Sykora\n0.5 Professional Hours Available    Pre-registration Required\nREGISTER HERE: https://ilaea.org/programs-events/webinar/ \nCreativity is undervalued\, misunderstood\, and underutilized even though it’s considered to be one of the #1 skills needed in the contemporary and future economy\, which would cause you to think it should be a priority in schools\, but it’s rarely taught if ever specifically and purposefully. Thanks to Sir Ken Robinson we all know how schools kill creativity\, but how many people actually understand what exactly is being killed? How purposefully do you teach creativity to your students? In this session\, participants will explore the nature of creativity from multiple points of view and processes for the high school classroom experience. We remove the curtain covering creativity\, define it\, break it down\, talk about how neuroscience illuminates creativity as the main function of the human brain\, how collaboration and imagination are fundamental to human intelligence\, and more\, while using resources such as the Everything is a Remix videos\, Shots of Awe\, and more.

Next\, the session shares big picture strategies for infusing unexpected and inventive adaptations into stale lessons. Last\, the bulk of the session will offer a dozen specific before and after lessons in a variety of media\, complete with student samples and resources for implementation. The presenters noticed in their near 20 years of teaching experience that other secondary educators sometimes have divisive perspectives on what constitutes quality curricular content: skill-building vs ideation\, student-driven versus teacher-driven\, old versus new. This presentation aims to facilitate a dialogue on balanced practice\, and encourages teachers to embrace ways to find value and joy in all approaches\, bridging pedagogical gaps along the way. More importantly\, attendees will leave this session with a laundry list of electrifying lesson stems that can be implemented in the classroom the next day!
