Creative Methodologies for Teaching and Assessing

Duration: 3 days

Program Overview:

The course is underpinned by Sir Ken Robinson’s statement that “To realise our true creative potential: in our organisations, in our schools and in our communities, we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.” This concept is made alive in the course. This workshop focuses on the use of creative methodologies from a toolkit of ideas provided. Teachers are trained on how to use creative interactive methodologies in their subject. It helps in building their capacity and confidence in learning how to use these methods in their facilitation.
