Young Audiences of Minnesota won a national award for their Classical Traditions project, which brings together folk string musicians and classical string educators to teach in Minneapolis middle schools. The project tests the idea that folk music traditions can inform and complement classical music education. Students learn musical elements like playing by ear and improvisation. Artists and teachers also learn from each other. The award recognizes innovative arts education projects.
Lighthouses are structures built along coastlines and around harbors that use light to guide ships and boats. They were originally built with bonfires but now use automated light and sound systems. While many have been replaced by modern navigation aids, lighthouses still serve as tourist attractions. The earliest lighthouse was built in Alexandria in 285 BC and the first American lighthouse was built in Boston Harbor in 1716. Lighthouses require maintenance and originally had lighthouse keepers living in them, but most are now automated without keepers.

It summarizes her educational background and roles managing the Learning Landscapes Initiative, which has rebuilt 48 Denver school playgrounds. It provides details on selected Learning Landscape projects at Carson Elementary and Lincoln Elementary that she managed and designed. Examples of her volunteer coordination and designs for educational elements like murals and a kinetic shade structure are also included. A timeline shows the initiative's planned capital improvements through 2020.
This document provides an overview of creative teaching and how to promote creativity in learners. It defines creativity as involving flexibility, originality, and thinking outside usual patterns. Teachers should develop creativity by encouraging exploration, original ideas, and multiple responses rather than single answers. The creative process involves preparation, incubation of ideas, illumination of solutions, and verification. Guidelines include cultivating each learner's potential, considering unanswered questions, and facilitating enjoyable, independent learning. Teachers can promote creativity by understanding learners, teaching basic concepts, and rewarding original thinking in a safe, patient environment using humor and real-world examples.
Creative Science - Magnets, Springs, Pulleys, Light, RocketsBrian Egles
This document outlines an educational science and technology project for children focused on forces and light. It describes several hands-on activities and experiments the children engaged in, such as building electromagnets, finding hidden magnets, constructing spring-powered "egg drop" devices, building pulley systems, making small light houses, experimenting with prisms and reflections, constructing water rockets, using telescopes, and more. It also includes feedback from the children, who enjoyed the hands-on projects, especially water rockets, but liked working in smaller groups.

The document provides information about creative teaching techniques. It begins with the objectives of increasing familiarity with creative thinking and applying creativity to classroom teaching. It then discusses what creativity is, noting that it is not just talent or skill but also originality. Various tools for enhancing creativity are presented, including fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, and thinking outside the box. Examples of creative teaching tools are given such as role playing, storytelling, mind mapping, demonstrations, games, and field trips. The document emphasizes keeping teaching simple and using techniques like humor to engage students.
This document discusses various methods and concepts related to creativity and innovation in teaching. It begins by discussing Bill Gates and how creativity led to his success. It then defines creativity as combining ideas in unique ways. Several thinkers' definitions of creativity are provided, focusing on restructuring knowledge. Characteristics of creative people are listed as challenging norms and being curious. Mental characteristics include curiosity and attention to detail. Barriers to creativity like fear and self-criticism are outlined. Techniques to overcome barriers include embracing ambiguity and letting ideas incubate. The creative process and principles of innovation are described. Finally, specific creativity techniques are detailed like brainstorming, forced associations, and using random words.
Creative Teaching Activities for the Multiple Intelligences ETAI 2010
Susan Osher
Dr. Howard Gardener proposed eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential. Today, his theory plays a significant role in trying to meet the student’s individual strengths and needs. This hands-on workshop will show how you can bring creative multiple intelligence activities into your classroom.
The document discusses creative teaching and creativity. It begins by outlining the workshop objectives of familiarizing participants with creative thinking and applying it to teaching and learning. It then explores definitions of creativity, discussing it as a talent, skill, and form of originality. The document outlines Wallas' model of the creative process and tools to enhance creativity like fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. It discusses teaching creatively by modeling creative thinking versus teaching for creativity by inspiring students to think creatively. The document concludes by asking if the reader considers themselves creative.
The document provides an overview of a teaching session that uses the Scratch programming environment to foster creativity and computational thinking in students. The session includes introductions to Scratch through sample animations and challenges students to design their own animations. Students will also collaborate on designing sprites and reflect on their experiences. The goals are for students to get hands-on experience with Scratch, develop a common familiarity, explore, create and share projects, and have fun learning.
This document discusses creative teaching and explores ways to foster creativity in the classroom. It identifies several key characteristics of creative teachers, including having a questioning stance, making connections across disciplines, promoting student autonomy and ownership, and modeling creativity. Creative teaching is seen as an art that involves developing personal qualities like curiosity, taking risks with new ideas, and having a flexible teaching style. The document provides tips for teachers to develop creativity in their students, such as rewarding creative ideas, allowing mistakes, and teaching self-responsibility. Overall, the document advocates for teaching approaches that encourage curiosity, flexibility, and student-driven learning to bring out creativity.
The document summarizes the development and goals of the UNAWE (Universe Awareness) program and the Universe in the Box educational kit.

Astronomy Literacy Goals by Pedro Russo, Cecilia Scorza & H. Lee unawe
This document outlines the goals and process for developing astronomy literacy concepts for an 18-year-old. It aims to establish a benchmark for astronomy education around the globe based on existing science literacy goals. The development process involves drafting concepts, gathering community input, revisions, and expert reviews. The initial concepts are based on existing benchmarks but tailored for global use and different age groups, with 10 main principles and 50 sub-principles covering topics like the solar system, stars, and cosmology.
"Universe Awareness Sri Lanka – a volunteer effort" by Thilina Heenatigalaunawe
UNAWE Sri Lanka is an astronomy outreach program that began in 2009 as part of International Year of Astronomy. Since then, it has reached over 1500 girl guides and 34 orphanages through its Saturday Astronomy Program and SpaceScoop publications. While volunteers are not always reliable, focused efforts with student ambassadors, interns, and regular meetups have been effective. Moving forward, the program aims to provide astronomy resources for people with disabilities, publish multilingual educational materials, and bring the Universe in a Box exhibit to additional cities.
