TRAINING FOR TEACHERS — Creative Classrooms
Creative Classrooms offers in-service workshops and courses to teachers throughout the Northeast.
Master's Degree Program:
Lesley University of Cambridge Mass. offers a two-year program at Walnut Hill leading to a Master’s Degree in Education in Curriculum and Instruction With a Specialization In Teaching Through the Arts from the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences.This 33-credit program involves 11 courses related to arts in education. Students learn that all of the arts – music, drama, storytelling, movement, fine arts, poetry – are tools that can enhance learning in the classroom.
Each three-credit course takes place during two weekends (Friday evening, 5-10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) with about four weeks between the weekends.
The program combines theory about arts-based education, multiple intelligence and Myers-Briggs personality theory with practical applicable ideas for the classroom.
Students accepted in this off-campus program have the same rights, privileges and obligations as on-campus Graduate School students. They are assigned academic and program advisors and may apply for financial aid.
