Teacher Development
CENTER FOR CREATIVE EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Empowering Teacher Leaders for the 21st Century
CCE’s engaging teacher development enables educators, school leaders, and community partners to become catalysts for student-centered learning in and out of the classroom. Our education innovation program is designed to transform classroom, and ultimately building-wide, practice from teacher-directed, lecture style education to student-owned, inquiry based, project-based learning.
Teachers in our workshops, residencies and institutes:
- learn how to build a student-centered, project-based curriculum by building on what we’re already doing in the classroom
- learn how to innovate in teaching craft through reflective practice, project tuning, and collegial collaboration
- learn how to take advantage of strengths and identify areas for innovation
- learn how to implement proven protocols to develop student discipline, ownership, initiative and self-assessment
- become Teacher Leaders and building-level change agents
- publish personalized action research to contribute to the craft
- establish a “community of practice” around pedagogical innovation and excellence
CCE’s Fall 2011 Workshops offerings:
- Project-Based Learning
- Collegial Conversation
- Teacher Collaboration for Innovation
- Student Ownership & Exhibition
- Action Research & Publication
Most workshops follow a one-day format but can be offered in shorter skill intensives at CCE/Carnegie or at your location.
