Participants will examine what creative thinking is and how it connects to wonder, imagination, curiosity, risk-taking, autonomy, and other key dispositions for learning. Through activities, presentations, classroom observations, and discussions, participants will consider why creative thinking and its related capacities are critical to develop in the early years, how classroom environments and educator–child interactions can nurture creative thinking, and how it can inform responsive pedagogy. Educators from Bing will share classroom experiences that highlight play as a powerful context in which children express and strengthen their creative thinking in action.Hosted by the Kordestani Program for Parents and Educators at Bing Nursery School.Session Days and Times:Wednesday, July 22: 10:00am - 6:00 pmThursday, July 23: 8:30 am - 4:00 pmFriday, July 24: 8:30 am - 3:00 pmRegistration Information:Open to Early Childhood Educators.
