Course description:
Would you like to enjoy teaching again?
The methodology of light-hearted teaching. By taking the course/workshop, you will become an engaging (or more engaging) educator. The course/workshop introduces a methodology that uses creativity in the classroom in a way that enhances your teaching while having a good time. You will teach with enthusiasm and vitality (again).
Creativity seems to have become a myth. Many people believe that they are not creative because they do not have outstanding ideas or they cannot draw. Sir Ken Robinson, one of the greatest educators of our time, believed that we are all inherently creative, however, we must nurture and foster our creativity so we can stay creative.
To be able to foster creativity in others, we must, first, recover our own dismantled creativity and playfulness. Creative attitude is not the same as being creative, it is far more important. Adopting a creative attitude is what turns a teacher into a facilitator of learning and the teaching environment into a creative den.
