Teaching for Growth

Teaching for Growth

Does your school need a new approach to teacher-student relationships, understanding a broad spectrum of learners, deepening learning  and mitigating behavior issues?

The number one key to student learning is positive relationships with teachers. To create them we need a new lens to understand our students’ positive core–even in the face of behavior issues, deficits, and time constraints. This workshop is highly relevant for classroom teachers, advisors, parents, and administrators, and can help develop a truly growth-oriented school culture.

Participants will learn to:

  • identify and reflect on their own creative strengths;
  • spot creative strengths in students;
  • recognize atrophied creative strengths when they show up as behavior issues, inattention, anxiety, etc.;
  • teach students to spot and activate their own creative strengths;
  • use Sparkitivity’s Catalyst Framework to facilitate student turnarounds.

This full-day immersive experience is designed to motivate your faculty through applied, meaningful learning that supports their best work.
