How might artists inspire new ways of thinking about teaching and learning?
This immersive professional learning invites you inside Patch Theatre’s creative process. Step into the world of Glow Nations to explore how artists build ideas together and discover how this creative process can enrich your everyday practice for deep understanding and meaning-making.
As educators explore new approaches to curriculum and learning design, this session offers practical ideas for creating rich learning experiences that nurture learner dispositions, capabilities and deep understanding—whatever curriculum or framework you use.
