W-6 Creativity and Artistic Practice: Engaging Faculty in Institutional Transformation

This workshop demonstrates the use of creativity as a tool to promote vibrant teaching and to affirm the importance of student-centered educational practice. Along the way, it also sheds light on accreditation as a pathway to transformation. All three presenters are respected artists and educational leaders in the CalArts community. Employing a variety of art forms and classroom practices, the presenters will help workshop participants rethink how they can creatively engage students and faculty at their institutions - and even use active learning methodologies to convey new concepts to the institution's WASC steering committee.
