 2009

Summary

Choreographing Creativity: Teaching as Artistic and Technical within the Curriculum of Composition views teaching as a combination of artistic and technical elements, similar to a figure skating or dance routine. Dr. Jennifer Bird presents a fictional story founded in factual teaching methods to illustrate this concept. The fifteen teachers in 'Cohort for Change' join her on this journey to share snapshots of their classroom experiences and advice for educators who wish to reclaim classroom creativity in the current 'teach to the test' culture of education.
