Cultivating Creativity with Literacy | Teaching Channel

Meet the dynamic duo of essential skills: creativity and literacy! In this course, you will explore the links between creativity and literacy, as well as the important thinking habits that serve as a foundation for both. Investigate how to assess creativity and how to help students overcome creative blocks. Learn strategies to integrate the arts into your literacy block, analyze how student choice and self-direction facilitate students’ creative agency, and explore your own creativity through the review of an art piece of your choice. By combining creativity and literacy, you will empower students to become proficient communicators, cooperative collaborators, and discerning critical thinkers who can navigate the challenges of our rapidly evolving society.
