ED 447 Fostering Creativity in the Classroom

Pre-service teachers explore theoretical underpinnings and practice of integrating creativity into classrooms at all levels. Building from neuroscience and educational theorists, candidates explore readings, dialogues, and experimentation with creative methods and materials that can be implemented across disciplines. From music, visual arts, movement, and creative writing to invention, students will learn approaches to build divergent/metaphoric thinking. For Education majors only.
