I offer dynamic, activated group workshops for all educators of preschool through 12th grade which explore the following:
Strategies and Tools For Arts Integration: How can we use the arts to facilitate deep understanding as well as equitable, democratic and just spaces for learning?
Re-envisioning Assessment: How might arts-centered classrooms allow a shift in the way we assess our students' understanding?
Integrative Collaborative Curriculum Design: How can we work together to design collaborative curriculums that are culturally responsive, develop critical literacy skills and build leaders and change-makers of tomorrow?
These workshops are facilitated using frameworks developed out of Harvard's Graduate School of Education Project Zero, as well as from contemporary artists, indigenous teachings, and the stories and understandings that emerge from participants. Frameworks explored include: Studio Habits of Mind, Integrated Learning Framework, Visual Thinking Strategies, Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Teach For Understanding, Making Learning Visible.
