Signature Thinking: A Framework for Cultivating Creativity
Fall 2019
More Details
We invite faculty members from all disciplines to a crash course in leveraging creativity to enhance learning. Together, we will navigate the myths of creativity and separate fact from fiction. We will also explore how to intentionally design classroom environments and curricular experiences to ensure creative thinking and risk-taking occurs in our classrooms while also balancing the crucial need for foundational knowledge. Finally, we will learn how to help students become signature thinkers through tinkering and prototyping and asking what if?

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
