What a privilege to workshop practical scaffolding strategies with an incredible group of Educational Theatre Association educators this past week. ☀️🌴 Key takeaway: Embrace the 'I do, we do, you do' model to gradually transfer responsibility to your students. This cultivates independence while making certain students receive the support they need along the way, preventing them from feeling overwhelmed during the process. #EDTA #ScaffoldingSuccess #FloridaSunshine #professionaldevelopment

What an extraordinary assembly of #CAN Teacher Leaders! 🔥🎨💃 I had a fantastic time with the People Like Us team during last night's #ConnectedArtsNetworks #ProfessionalDevelopment Panel on inclusion. These 100 passionate educators, from all corners of the nation, are charting the course for the arts in our classrooms and molding the future generation of creatives. 🚀 A key takeaway from the session: Choice-making, choice-making, choice-making! It might have felt like a broken record, but honing decision-making skills has a profound impact on classroom culture, behaviors, and workforce readiness. Check out this video for further insights! https://lnkd.in/gjzRRapD 📺💡 #EmpowerStudents #InclusiveEducation

A well-rounded education is incomplete without instruction in the arts. 🎭 🎶 🎨 No matter the medium, the arts are a powerful tool for inspiring, engaging, and empowering students, providing them with a consistent, positive outlet for creative expression and personal growth. #BecauseOfArtsEd #ArtsEd #ArtsEducation #ArtsEdWeek

Favorite part of #EducationalConsulting? Watching teachers embrace the process to share an in-progress product. 🧠💡 When we encourage the sharing of in-progress work, we help our students cultivate a growth mindset - empowering them to embrace challenges, develop grit, and continue learning. Fantastic time with Natalie Lockliear's group of #elementaryteachers at H.E. Bonner Elementary School Little Foxes doing just that! 👩🏫👨🏫 Let's continue to champion the power of embracing the process in our classrooms. 💪✨ People Like Us #ArtsIntegration #Neurodiversity #ProfessionalDevelopment #InclusiveLearning
