Are you looking for ways to support your students’ creativity in the classroom? Working alongside teachers in a variety of contexts (early childhood, elementary, out of school), we’ve learned a lot about what instructional strategies are both easy for teachers and effective in real learning environments.

Children’s lives are busy and at times stressful: transitions from home to school, classroom to classroom, each space with its specific expectations and rules.

I have been thinking a lot recently about how much of a child’s day is spent doing isolating, independent tasks.

A creative invitation is a simple set-up with a few appealing or interesting materials that spark your child’s curiosity and invite them over to create and explore.
