Do you want your students to connect with each other as a team? Do you want your learning space to encourage collaboration? Does your teaching create learners who are risk takers? Do you want your students to build up one another? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join me for this classroom community session where we will dive head first into the deep end of social emotional learning that a playful classroom can provide. We will discuss tips and tricks, review resources, and practice our own bit of community building as we learn about the power of play for ALL ages.

During this session, you will learn some unique ways to bring creativity and the arts into every lesson you teach. Join me, as we destroy the confines of “the box” from the inside out.
Does your brain need a kick start sometimes? Of course it does, all of our brains do. In the busy world we live in, giving ourselves time, space, and opportunity to think creatively is a must.

This session is so fun y’all! Pick this one!!!

Are you curious about sketchnoting? Do you need to know the who, what, where, when, why of it all? Do you feel like you can’t draw so there’s no hope? Do you want to teach your students how to do it but don’t know where to start? This session will answer all of your questions and provide you with a great model to replicate with students tomorrow.
There is no wrong way to doodle. It’s fun. It’s whimsical. It’s a scientifically based method of learning and it makes information stick. Let’s talk about nonlinguistic representations and how it can help you be a better thinker, learner, and educator. Art skills are NOT required for this hands-on experience.
Art, creativity, innovation, and wonder are all key components of 21st Century learning. Thank goodness all of those things can be found with just a quick walk through nature. Have you ever stopped to look at all the learning opportunities that present themselves just by walking through the woods, by a pond, passing a meadow? Join presenter, Jed Dearybury, for an interactive session like you’ve never done before. We will literally take a walk in the outdoors and see what learning experiences we can find together. This will be your favorite session for sure!
On your mark. Get set. Think! Critical thinking is a life skill we all need and we must help cultivate this in our students. Step 1: Take this workshop. Step 2: Teach your students to think. Don’t worry… it won’t hurt too bad. These critical thinking experiences will have you laughing while you learn as you generate idea after idea for your life and for your classroom.
Using children’s literature to integrate the STEAM mindset into your curriculum is a natural fit. During this session we will learn some engaging ways to fill your classroom with hands-on STEAM strategies that will develop creative, critical thinking students. Want students to leave your class “wowed” and excited about reading? Join me for this session!
Educators rarely toot their own horns, yet we are often the best experts at our craft. We all have so many tips and tricks that we can share if only given the time to communicate and collaborate. In this “no topic session” your learning experience will be facilitated following the Edcamp.org model for teacher learning. We will assess the greatest needs and greatest expertise in the room and learn together. It may sound odd at first, but through sessions like this teachers have learned things they didn’t know they needed as they heard from their professional peers. Want a unique conference session, then join this “un presentation” and learn how you can facilitate this kind of learning experience with your students and school peers. I look forward to the wisdom and learning you will bring!
I’ve had the joy of partnering with amazing educators in over 30 states and 5 countries, and I can’t wait to plan something special for your team!
Whether you’re looking for a high-energy Keynote to inspire your entire district, a hands-on Workshop to equip your staff, ongoing Coaching for targeted growth, or an immersive Artist in Residency to bring creativity to life—I’m ready to help.
Can't Decide?
We can mix and match any of these sessions to create a unique, 6-hour professional development day perfectly tailored to your school’s goals. Let’s get planning!
