Free Teacher Workshop: Creative Tinkering in the Classroom

with Avril Landes

5:00 PM - 7:00 PM  |  Thursday, March 21st


Creative thinking is an invaluable skill that results from tinkering with loose parts and open-ended materials. In this workshop we will engage with loose parts, and experience for ourselves the possibilities they afford. Those include collaboration, innovation, self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, natural curiosity, amongst many others! Additionally, because there are no direct instructions to follow, no "right or wrong," creative tinkering is low-risk and allows children to engage in higher-level thinking with the least amount of pressure. Participants in this workshop can expect to tinker, play and even create something of their own. They will also learn ways to introduce loose parts into their classrooms and how to utilize them to teach any areas of curriculum. After a brief welcome and introduction, participants will rotate through the multiple stations. Before moving on to their next station participants will engage in brief, small-group reflections with their tablemates.
