We are proud to partner with organizations and educators across the country.
Here’s what our participants are saying…
Authenticity in the ClassrooM:
.
“I learned that the power of creativity and authenticity is so necessary, and often undervalued in the traditional education conversations. We are often so focused on data and drilling content that we cannot fully focus on fostering more inclusive, creative, and authentic learning environments for our students. Taking this course confirmed to me that…an authentic setting is what is best for my students.”
“Be prepared to get deep! Be prepared to make some new friends! Be prepared to have fun and be yourself. I absolutely loved this course and found it to be so very refreshing.”
“This workshop is fantastic for any educator or person working with children, veteran or not.”
“This class is not like any traditional PD class. Lots of time is set aside for each individual to express themselves, speaking, commenting, giving out handy tips/links/advice, and in general focusing on the human aspects of fulfilling our need to be both recognized and expressive in front of a group of similarly-minded professional peers.”
“I felt seen and valued for what I can bring to others. I felt that the work that I was engaging in was meaningful and necessary.”
“I was surprised by how many resources I was able to bring back into the classroom”
“My brain is buzzing with ideas. Feeling so energized!”
Self-Care for Educators:
“I felt so much calmer than I had all week.”
“I felt affirmed and relieved.”
“I learned there can still be joy in my teaching life if I take time to look for it.”
Implementation Coaching:
“...it was one of the best faculty meetings that we ever had. The fact that the teachers took the initiative to plan and learn from each other and all participants took it so seriously and were actively engaged meant the world to me because it tells me that our students' social-emotional development is in good hands.”
Creative Classrooms:
“I was able to see another side of my students- their self expression – many of the students expressed themselves like never before. Thank You!”
“Many of my students have diverse academic needs and often times have a hard time articulating their comprehension and insight of a text. Creative Classrooms allowed these students to demonstrate their understanding and express their thoughts in a different way... Without [this program] some of my students would not have performed to the ability they have this year.
“After getting involved with Creative Classrooms everything started. I got a full-time teaching job in Manhattan, got to be a part of several different communities, made some of my best friends, and learned so so much.”
