Session 1: Designing Creative Contexts for Inquiry with Young People (ages 5-13 years)
Ancient teachers carefully selected teaching sites that connected students’ inner realities with those of the universe (Cajete, 2015). As teachers of the most materially-endowed and digitally-attuned generation in history, we must support students in (re)cognizing their surroundings towards (w)holistic aims. Join Misty, Founder of Pop-Up Studio, and artist Calder Cheverie, to discover and unleash the “Pedagogical Artist” within us all. Together, we’ll design flexible contexts for concept-driven inquiry using low-cost materials and purposeful play. Leave with an adaptive framework to “pop-up” your inquiries, on-the-spot, alongside learners.
Session 2: Facilitating Inquiry in Creative Contexts with Young People (ages 5-13 years)
A carefully curated and crafted playscape is only as powerful as our learners’ receptiveness to inquire within it, and our attunement towards their response. How do we cultivate a reciprocal response-ability that invites memorable meaning-making? We can become professional marvelors! Join Misty and Calder to practice the art and science of marveling using Pop-Up Studio’s POWR coaching cycle. Leave with valuable lived experience to POWR-up playscapes in your context.
