Providing children with opportunities to explore creative movement can spark so many natural connections to STEM concepts. During this interactive workshop, educators will participate in a variety of dance-focused strategies that will deepen understanding in science, math, ingenuity, and other fundamental STEM concepts. Participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their own creative movement techniques that can support student’s STEM learning.
Act 48 and PQAS credit hours available. Registration is required.
Objectives
Through active participation and successful completion, participants will be able to:
- Define and discuss what “creative movement” means within an early educational experience and how children’s movements connect to STEM learning concepts.
- Brainstorm and share movement activities, targeting a multi-aged early education environment that focuses on the concepts of science, math, and other STEM learning concepts.
