WHAT OTHER EDUCATORS ARE SAYING
“Your session was phenomenal! The storytelling game and poem activity were so engaging. I’ll definitely be using them in my classroom. I love giving every kid a voice. Having students write first and then share makes it non-threatening and very student-friendly, especially for middle schoolers. This strategy helps every student feel important. Once they hear their words shared, the whole class feels connected. I’m excited to use these activities in so many ways this year. Thank you for showing us such a creative, powerful approach!”

“The most valuable insight I took away from Dr. Fleetwood’s class was that you could use Drama to develop core academic skills to support your colleagues and students across the curriculum. For example, the collaborative poem while developing analytical observation skills is an amazing way to support critical analysis and language arts objectives.The session will impact my students from day one and beyond! I plan on using the Curation lesson to help kids get to know one another while they work as a team to create an art piece. The exercise incorporates play based learning while promoting social emotional learning as students get to know one another and the class as a whole in an activity that goes beyond the traditional ice breaker games with more depth and fun! ”
