Empowered Schools
Our Creative Classroom Training is based on a growing body of evidence that "soft skills" like creativity, self-expression, and social emotional literacy are essential for young people in our rapidly changing world. Soft skills also dramatically increase the impact of teachers in the classroom.
Creative Classroom provides practical tools and strategies that foster soft skills as an integral part of learning, enliven learning across subject areas, and develop a vibrant whole school culture. Creative Classroom provides personal as well as professional development to help teachers and staff connect with their own creativity and find new joy and effectiveness in their work.
We design trainings to fit the needs of your school, from short introductory sessions to year-long engagements. Teachers can use these tools right away, and they are highly complementary to other interventions that foster a holistic approach to learning.

CF1 was transformative. It helped deepen our relationships, and it has had a lasting influence on how we do our work, from facilitating trainings and internal meetings to leading community conversations. I can't recommend it enough!

I have never before witnessed the transformational power of creativity in such a profound way and in such a short space of time.

PYE’s Creative Classroom is a great example of how experiential learning can have a much deeper impact on learning. The teachers experienced their own creativity in a whole new way. This training will have lasting impact.
