Creative Practices

Creative Practices is a platform for teacher interaction that invites members to contribute and review lesson plans, teaching materials, and activities focusing on the arts (music, visual arts, film/photography, theater, dance, and literature), environmental issues, and social justice. These resources should emphasize student-centered pedagogy, creativity and problem-solving, integration into other subject areas, and an appeal to diverse intelligences and learning styles. Professors of Education are encouraged to invite their students to contribute ideas to the group.
