Common Chords: Schulwerk and Learning
Teachers around the country are feeling the pressure and demands presented by the Common Core. How do we get back to doing what is best for kids? How do we put joy back into teaching? In this workshop delve into critical thinking through singing, moving and playing. Using a collaborative teaching model, explore games and other simple structures as tools to awaken creativity and support whole brain learning. Dress for movement, bring a friend and prepare yourself for fun!
