Module Description

Investing in professional development for teachers, or “teaching the teachers” is a vital step in successfully incorporating our Creative Modules into the classroom. By fostering cooperation and coordination with current educators, we lay the groundwork for a transformative educational journey. Through engaging and interactive workshops conducted on-site, or on-line we empower teachers with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to effectively implement the Creative Modules and equip them with the tools they need to inspire and engage

students, ultimately shaping a brighter future for education.
