FAIR 490A - Good Teaching: Power of Art and Community

This course is offered in conjunction with the annual Northwest Teacher’s Conference. See http://www.nwteachersconference.org/ for details about registering for the Conference. The specific workshops vary from year to year, but through pre-reading activities, daily workshops and reflective writing, students will explore questions related to the challenge of sustaining good teaching practices amid increasing pressures to standardize curriculum, classrooms, and children’s needs. We will envision learning environments where finding meaning matters and where the creative process is valued as a learning strategy. We will identify personal and community resources needed to broaden and/or transform teaching practices.
