Learning Through Art, Play and Possibility – FREE Professional Learning

February 19th, 2020

Tuesday 20 October, 4pm - 6pm at Patch Theatre

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 inspiration of Glow Nations to explore how artists build ideas together and discover how these creative habits can enrich your everyday practice for deep understanding and meaning-making.

 

With educators across South Australia currently focusing on the new curriculum, this session provides practical foundations for transforming tasks and nurturing vital learner dispositions and capabilities.

 

Experience the creative process firsthand, then step back to reflect on how to design for confident, capable early learners in your own setting.
