"I came to The Creativity Workshop with the goal of learning strategies to bring back to my classroom, things that would help my students get past their fear of creative experimentation and failure and unlock the ideas and stories that I know are inside them. And while I did get that, maybe even more importantly, I found rejuvenation of my own creativity, curiosity, and willingness to try new things. I'm so excited to get back to my classroom, and I know I'll bring not just new strategies and activities but the stories and experiences of all the wonderful people I worked with over the course of the workshop as well as all the creative giants like da Vinci and Galileo whose footsteps I walked in while in Florence. Florence was the perfect setting for the workshop. It seemed to just call me to sit, be still, and look closely."
