It’s science. Students who doodle or sketch during their note-taking retain up to 29% more of covered content! But, instructor fear of drawing, management of drawing, and/or how to introduce sketchnoting to students prevents many teachers from including sketchnoting in their practice. This workshop defines sketchnoting, provides a framework for introducing sketchnoting to students, utilizes tips and tricks for drawing with students, and engages participants in hands-on activities.

Each educator training includes copy of grade-level arts-integrated curriculum, how to unpack the curriculum, arts integration training, elements and principles of art overview, and time to make-and-take projects from the curriculum.

Join us for an exciting and engaging night of hands-on STEAM learning.  Utilizing STEAM in the classroom is an amazing way to rigorously teach students about the intersection and interrelation of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.  This workshop focuses on defining and identifying STEAM learning, how to source quality STEAM projects, and engages participants through hand-on STEAM projects. Attendees will receive copies of lesson plans used for the hand-on portions of the workshop. All lessons align to VAPA and CCSS Standards.
