Future teachers learn about classroom creativity
Using technology to stimulate creativity. Having the confidence to try teaching techniques outside the norm. Implementing movement and play in the special ed classroom. These are strategies that three young alumni teachers shared with Heidelberg education majors as part of the 2018 Education Summit this week.
Paige Atterholt, ’16, Allyson Guarino, ’16 (pictured above), and Kryssie Pratt, ’10, were among the young alumni teachers who returned to campus to share their experiences with current education majors and mentor teachers. The summit, with the theme Burn the Worksheets: Student Learning in Innovative & Creative Classrooms, kicked off Thursday with a dynamic keynote presentation by Brian LaDuca, the executive director of the Institute of Applied Creativity for Transformation at ArtStreet (through the University of Dayton). The Education Department also welcomed California teacher and coach Walter Moody as a guest presenter.
