Education Toward Creative Thinking
Description:
The premise of this workshop is that vocational instruction is the
first step in 'workforce development' on behalf of employers. It
further assumes that one of the primary needs of employers is
"out-of-the-way" or Creative Thinkers. It builds on these premises
and proposes a philosophy of vocational education that affirms
your current practice, as well as introducing other concepts and
practices to consider implementing as you prepare students for the
workforce.
Topics include:
Tim's Tetralogy of Teaching
Gender Differences in Learning
Problem Based Learning Theory (PBL)
Utilizing "Managers in Training"
Learning Styles Revisited
Bloom's Taxonomy, reinvented
'Creative Thinking' as defined by Crawford in Shop Class as Soul Craft
