Today I had staff development and this time the whole day was based around "teaching and learning". Staff development can often be looked at as a chore, it doesn't seem to stimulate any of the staff involved in delivering the sessions, let alone the staff sitting there trying to absorb the information (perhaps Maslows needs are not being addressed).
Any how, as we kicked off things with a new mission statement speech from the new principle, I found myself sitting in a sea of multi-colour chairs next to super Sonya! (Sonya is course leader for BA Fashion Design). Sonya has recently started her MA at Ravensbourne and was discussing with me her research module and captivating videos and books that she has found herself drawn to in recent weeks. A good bit of share and care between us took place and we started listing down books, videos and other resources that we felt we could benefit from.
It got me thinking straight away about them little pockets of creativity you find on the web and that they need to be shard and enjoyed by the likes of all, so below are two little bundles of joy I plan to use in upcoming lessons that explore creativity and being creative. Enjoy
