Description

Incorporating creativity into the classroom isn’t just about making art projects or decorations. It’s about teaching students to approach problems creatively and become richer, deeper thinkers.  Lisa Van Gemert, award-winning educational consultant, guides teachers through an in-depth look at how to bring creative instruction into their classrooms. This six-hour course, “Creativity and Instructional Strategies,” dives deep into what creativity is and how to use it in the classroom. 

Ms. Van Gemert uses data and research to explain the educational and personal benefits that students gain when they learn to think creatively. She addresses common myths about creativity, such as that it’s only useful for lower elementary grades or for certain subjects. After taking this course educators will have the resources, inspiration, and knowledge they need to make their classrooms engaging and exciting through creativity.

In this course educators will learn about:

  • How creativity affects a student’s learning 
  • Resources for cultivating a creative classroom
  • Creative activities
  • Humor and creativity

    I have taken two of Lisa Van Gemert’s GT Updates online and have thoroughly enjoyed them. One reason being that I can take the course while in my pajamas and two because she always gets me excited about returning each August and trying out her ideas in my classroom. Also, she provides me with affirmation that I am not a total nut when I pretend to have tv gameshows in my classroom with my students.
