CETA Conference 2024: THE CREATIVITY OF CREATIVITY

Who doesn’t love the magical world of the circus?! This workshop will focus on the benefits and applications of integrating improvisational theatre, balancing and juggling skills, and puppetry into the classroom. This experiential workshop will provide teachers with activities and tips for engaging the full diversity of learners, from English Language Learners, to those on the spectrum, and those with behavioral challenges. It is my belief that providing opportunities for creative expression and collaboration is key to educational success, engagement and SEL. Teachers will leave this fun workshop with strategies to help primary students self-regulate through balancing and juggling, express their thoughts and feelings through puppets, and build community through improvisation.
