Creative Education Symposium 4-3-21Do you strive to educate the whole child by embracing the arts and social-emotional learning?
In a study released this month by the Centers for Disease Control, risks to mental health and well-being for students and parents are possible effects of stress caused by COVID-19-associated schooling change. As schools navigate uncharted territory in acclimating students to re-engage with in-person classroom teaching, teachers are tasked with developing and implementing innovative methods to address social emotional learning and creative teaching while providing instruction to promote academic achievement. This symposium brings together world-class presenters who will share how to strengthen empathy and resilience in schools through the arts. |
