Teacher Training

Imagination Quest Teacher Training

The IQ Team's professional development initiatives use an experiential approach that provides teachers with both a theoretical and practical foundation for integrating arts-based instructional strategies into their pedagogy. The approach permits teachers to proceed from encounters with theories to translation of the theories into practice.

Professional Development sessions can be flexibly arranged with your school or school district's schedule in mind-in the past, sessions have been as short as three hours, or as long as five full days. Material covered may extend to:

• Readings to understand current research and pedagogy
• Experiencing lessons as modeled by an IQ team member
• Peer-to-peer conversations
• Examples of how arts-based lessons will be used in the "real world" of the classroom

Professional Development Sessions in the IQ method of arts integration may be scheduled for your school or your school district. Additionally, IQ Teacher Institutes may be held on local campuses over the summer for college credit.
