We sincerely apologize that this workshop overlaps with ALA Midwinter and for any challenges that this scheduling poses.
The Workshop:
Join us for a full day workshop on the CREATE Framework, the unique research-backed pedagogical framework developed by the Center for Childhood Creativity at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. The acronym CREATE illustrates key elements of learning environments and experiences that support the development of creativity for children ages 2 – 10. Many of the ideas described are also relevant for older children, teens and adults. Pulling from the academic fields of education, psychology, and neuroscience, the CREATE framework describes how educators can build children’s creative problem-solving through intentional experiences. The day will emphasize exploratory learning: what it is, how to develop and facilitate exploratory experiences, and why research says that is important. Leave with both practical ideas for programming in your library as well as a theoretical understanding of what is important to develop creative problem solving skills.
