Grow Through the Arts for Educators, February 2017
Join Grow Through the Arts in this groundbreaking series for educators to explore WHY you teach, your superpowers and kryptonite as an educator, and how to implement your unique vision in the classroom.
This series of 3 three-hour workshops will attune you with your own motivation and vision as an educator, outfit you with practical classroom tools, and connect you more fully with your students.
Join us Tuesday evenings, 5:30-8:30pm, at the University Heights Center in Seattle.
Workshop One - Purpose & Superpowers (Feb 28)
In this workshop, each participant will be guided to articulate their unique educational philosophy. From here we will dive into specifics like identifying excellent educator/mentor traits and which superpowers we each possess that will help every student through:
- process-based learning and production - developing creative voices - discovering authentic selves - learning to be messy, value the process and FAIL with grace and ease
Workshop Two - Power Dynamics & Strategies (Mar 14)
The purpose of this workshop is to identify whats in your way of being the best educator you can be. Throughout our lives and careers we all build up habits, patterns, and conditions that start to define how we feel about ourselves and perceptions of what we believe to be successful. In other words, are we authentically assessing and valuing ourselves as educators and people? Workshop Two will question:
- What are your main challenges and strategies in the classroom? - What personality traits do you hide behind? - What patterns are inhibiting your students growth? - How do we let go of the old and make way for what best serves the whole?
Workshop Three - Environment & Biases (Mar 28)
This third workshop provides concrete strategies for creating a successful classroom environment. Based on your unique classroom wants and needs, well take this last workshop to looking at unconscious biases like privilege, racism and ethnic prejudice, and adultism, and how bringing consciousness can improve every aspect of your teaching. Well explore: - what it means to be on in the classroom - which teaching tools help our students to feel seen and heard - what makes a safe and inclusive classroom - what hidden biases we all possess
