How to Speak “Educationese:”
Powerful Ideas for Puppetry in the Classroom that Administrators will Love!
Join puppetry educator Johanna Smith for an exploration of fun, accessible puppetry activities for the classroom that have been specifically designed to showcase the powerful learning that is unique to puppetry.
Explore ways to assess and communicate the discoveries and development of students in ways administrators will understand. No expensive materials are necessary. Part of this exploration will be finding ways to create puppetry anywhere and everywhere.
Recommended materials:
This will be a Zoom session. Please bring an interesting kitchen utensil that can be safely played with. If one is not available, a natural object like an interesting branch would work. Please also bring a few sheets of notebook or computer paper.
