COURSE DESCRIPTION

Learn how you can help your learners build their creative potential! Creativity in the classroom course focuses on the ways and strategies teachers can use to make the classes more interesting to students. It’s getting more and more challenging to be a teacher and educator in the 21st century. For that reason, teachers have to make a great effort to constantly refresh methods of teaching and increasing creativity in classroom activities.

Learn how to completely transform your teaching and make it challenging, rewarding, interesting, active and 100 % fun. Creativity develops innovation, and innovation happens when we nurture imagination which is stimulated through storytelling and drama. Participants are going to learn how to use these powerful techniques to create a motivating and fun environment in their classrooms. Studies have shown that learning is more effective when it is acquired through games. This is why we prepared workshops focused on game based learning. If you enjoy these, your students will too.Not all classrooms have digital tools available so we have created a course that uses a variety of activities and tools which can be performed with or without technology. This is a perfect opportunity for experienced teachers to brush up on their knowledge and gain valuable new ideas, while young teachers will obtain great tools and techniques that will help them in their future professional life.
