Encouraging Curiosity, Wonder and Creativity

Posted on April 25, 2016April 24, 2016
Pro-D is an opportunity to do many things – connect with friends and colleagues from other sites, gather around new venues like the snack/coffee tables, learn new tips and exciting ways to teach a unit or ponder over a big idea. There is an energy to this day that is quite different from the day-to-day. It is the energy of curiosity and wonder at work. It is a time to allow creative juices flow. And sometimes there is a level of anxiety over anticipated things that push or pull the need for change.

Some things I know for sure:

  • Learning is built on community and togetherness. How we create the conditions for connectedness is important.Comfort Zone Quote
  • New experiences have to be connected to things you already understand. Moving forward is purposeful and intentional.
  • Individuals make personal conscious decisions to learn new things. What is ultimately worth learning is usually difficult and messy. It takes courage to make a leap.
  • Sometimes people will try something only because they know you will support them and walk alongside (like PoohBear and Piglet). With regards to the new curriculum, click here for embedded elaboration popups.myquote_changethelens
  • When you see something with a new lens, you can never go back.

Pro-D, while meant as a learning experience, is really an event. How will you carry these sparks and thinking challenges into your classrooms or offices? That’s where the magic happens.
