WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Friday, November 16, 2012
1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. The Arts & Nature
This workshop will help you discover how to help children express their knowledge and personal interpretation of the world in more meaningful ways. The Look-Move-Build-Sketch planning model is designed to help educators create multi-faceted art experiences. This approach encourages children to work in many modes, reminding both teachers and learners (especially those with sensory integration challenges) of the many ways to experience new ideas and concepts. The projects explored during this workshop are inspired by nature and serve as another way to help children make deeper connections with the natural world.
