Creativity Workshop for Ames Iowa Teachers

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

The Magic of Teaching Creatively class will held in Ames, IA this week for area teachers. In this class, local teachers will learn to design lesson plans in more creative ways.  This two day workshop class allows participants the opportunity to become more creative in their thinking and teaching styles as Sally facilitated numerous active participation activities.

Sally will help teachers facilitate ideas in storytelling, puppetry, technology, drama, clowning, music and brain-based learning.  Participants will also learn how humor and laughter are important in the learning process as Sally is a Certified Laughter Leader.  Sally had the teachers participate in many laughter exercises and how these would be helpful for their students.

This class is sponsored by Heartland Area Education Agency (AEA 11). The seminar will be held on July 26 & 27, 2007 in the Ames, Iowa AEA office. For more information, visit the Heartland AEA website. There is a full syllabus for The Magic of Teaching Creatively available on this website.
