Combining Creativity, Civic Mindedness, and Belonging to Motivate Children to Read and Learn (edWeb) Online
On her website for Hairiette of Harlem, Tanya Wright includes a quote from Albert Einstein, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” In this edWebinar, we are going to discuss creativity, what’s needed to spark creativity in learners, and why it matters beyond school, at the workplace, and in society at large. We’re also going to showcase concepts from Tanya‘s Hairiette of Harlem, a story-driven literacy system about the misadventures of an impatient seven-year-old girl named Hairiette. Besides creativity, a 21st-century and much-valued skill, we’ll touch on the importance of motivation and engagement in literacy development. We’ll elevate the role of belongingness, which can work against stereotype threat and “otherness” to create safe spaces where each student can meet their potential. Attendees will walk away with: A sneak peek at the Hairiette of Harlem film. Understanding of the importance of motivation and engagement in literacy programs. Recognition of the role another key 21st-century skill, civic mindedness, plays in learning and literacy development. Understanding of how research supports these concepts and where to find strategies teachers can use. A feeling of fun and joy for Hairiette and her friends!
