IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCIES

For any classroom with any students

IMAGINE. CREATE. EXPLORE.

“My key insight from today is that the art lies in creative choice, and that creative choice allows students to express their understanding of the meaning. When I give my students creative choice, I am not only opening the door for deeper understanding, but I am also allowing the student to go farther than they thought they could. Creative choice with clear goals and expectations, along with the why and purpose is the perfect recipe for student success.”
– Classroom teacher, Honolulu
