Teaching Creativity

Service Description

fountain arts is delighted to offer this 1 day of continuing professional development for teachers and creative educators. The development day will inspire your learners to open their own doors and take a seat at the table of a creative industrial revolution. Working with Artist, Educator & TEDx speaker Michael Burkitt, we will explore his Code for Creativity, a toolkit for teachers and learners to maximise their creative learning sessions and assessment. Michael will take you through a range of resources, activities and assessment criteria that will create an infrastructure for creativity. The ideas, thinking and activities from the day will be collated into a digital resource for teachers to implement and support each other with delivery in 2023/24. Who should attend?
