Our partner, Saint Ann's School, is hosting this event.
Jumpstart your school year with renewed creative energy! The key to innovative teaching lies not in new techniques but in rediscovering the "Beginner's Mind" that enhances all types of learning. Join master teacher Henry Kandel for an immersive workshop that blends somatic practices, improvisational techniques, and collaborative challenges designed to unlock your creative flow.
Drawing from 30+ years of teaching physics, cognitive science, and improvisational theater, Henry offers practical tools for tapping your full teaching powers. Through body-mind awareness practices, playful problem-solving, and the principles of emergent design, you'll experience firsthand how spontaneity and structure can work together to create transformative learning experiences. Leave with concrete methods to inspire innovation in your classroom, generate fresh curricula in any subject, and build cultures of joyful collaboration. Perfect for teachers seeking to make this their most creative year yet!
Cost: $10
Deadline to purchase is August 20th. Space is very limited!
This is a Fellow led event.
