Creativity in Practice Summer Institute

Early childhood educators are invited to join us for a new professional development program designed to increase their skills and confidence incorporating art and creativity in the classroom.

Co-created with toddler and preschool teachers, this one-day institute provides seven hours of professional development credit through Colorado Shines PDIS. The program will take place in the museum's Creative Hub on Saturday, July 19 from 10am to 5pm.

Registration is open to all early childhood educators (teachers, coaches, directors, home-based care providers, etc.) and space is limited, so register early!

Sessions and topics during the day include:

• Teacher Art Identity: Reflecting on teacher identity in relation to art and creativity
• Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB): Introduction to TAB techniques and materials
• Art & Diverse Music: The importance of diverse music and creativity in early childhood education
• Art, Drama & Storytelling: Incorporating drama and storytelling with art and creativity to foster social emotional learning
• Teacher Lesson Planning with Objects and Artworks: Introduction to using objects and artworks at the museum to meet early childhood learning objectives
