Description

Incorporating creativity into the classroom isn’t just about making art projects or decorations. It’s about teaching students to approach problems creatively and become richer, deeper thinkers.  Lisa Van Gemert, award-winning educational consultant, guides teachers through an in-depth look at how to bring creative instruction into their classrooms. This six-hour course, “Creativity and Instructional Strategies,” dives deep into what creativity is and how to use it in the classroom.

In this course educators will learn about:

  • How creativity affects a student’s learning

  1. Kathleen – New Lexington City Schools (verified owner) –

    There were a few ideas that really stood out that would be useful. However, the handout wasn’t very helpful and only addressed some of the things that were talked about in the course.

  2. Kimberly – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    I learned a lot from this course!

    I thought this was an awesome course that opens our minds and eyes to many ways to support a lot of learners within the classroom.

  8. Marilu – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I really like the content and the way it is presented. It help me a lot. Because I was doing this on my phone I was never able to read the entire question when it came time to take the quiz. So that could improve.

  9. David – HARMONY SCIENCE ACAD – SAN ANTONIO DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    good

  10. Alejandra – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Creative approach to resources or activities I had not thought about using with all students especially with GT students.
