However\, opportunities for creativity have been overshadowed by academics and/or removed from schools altogether. We aim to get creativity back in the classroom and encourage children to use and treasure their imagination. Other 21st-century skills include innovation\, critical thinking\, problem-solving\, communication\, and collaboration. This course offers participants the opportunity to examine the importance of these skills and how to effectively and appropriately encourage them in the early childhood classroom\, using developmentally appropriate practice. Through self-reflection\, discussion\, brainstorming\, and other collaborative opportunities\, participants will create a plan for encouraging these skills in their classroom. \nAdditional Information\nIf you have a special situation such as registering your entire staff for training or wanting a staff member to attend several of the trainings\, please reach out to nancy.nicewonger@firstup.org directly. You can find the listings on the PD Registry training calendar.
