I understand, it's great that AI can help with teaching ideas. But wouldn't you want an educator, with much experience working with children and youth, to give you ideas and empower your strategy? Much of the routines teachers do today can be assisted by AI. Then teachers really need to step forward to facilitate creative problem-solving, mentor toward autonomous and collaborative learning, and engage students in activities that foster the 21st century skills. Wow. Such a great leap.
Yet it can be simple!
I reached out to two colleagues, scolars with lifelong educational experience: Dr. Rachelle Dené Poth and Kirsten Wilson. We discussed teachers' challenges these days. And thought we'd provide shared webinars combining our expertise, to not only equip teachers toward teaching AI literacy, but also tool and encourage them to step forward as facilitators and mentors, for students' growth and achievement. I researched a lot lately about teachers' wishes for personal professional development, and found out that they much benefit from online professional community of learners, where the environment is safe and innovative. We'd like to provide teachers with such an environment.
So, save the dates:
Saturday, November 16th, 12PM EST: Weaving SEL, AI, and Creative Problem-Solving for an Equitable Classroom, virutal on Zoom, with Kirsten Wilson and me.
Saturday, November 23rd, 12PM EST: Building AI Literacy and Fostering Creative Problem Solving, also virtual on Zoom, with Rachelle Dene Poth and me.
Check it out now. Early bird registration is open. Hope to see you there. The events will be lively, engaging and fun. As proof, you can listen to our delightful conversations offered on Rachelle Dene Poth's ThriveinEdu podcast, and Kirsten Wilson' The Bulldog Educator podcast.
Here's a quick look at this article's image again:
You see, our mission is to support you in amplifying human intelligence with a big heart. The 5 E's serve to simplify classroom practices. This strategy is based on my lifelong creativity education practice weaved with academic literature.
At the top of the image there are many excerpts of paintings I've done along the years. I hope they give a clue as to how imaginative and creative children's and youth's minds can be. If we'd just give them opportunities to Explore their ideas in the classroom, Experience with them, Examine and Elevate, and Express finalized products signifying their creative problem-solving, that would great.
Sounds complicated? Not at all, join our webinars, and you'll discover how the heartful core practices of the 5 E's Strategy help you with classroom organization, orienting students toward success.
