Dramatic Adventures: Creating Original Stories with Children

Presenter: Ali Oliver-Krueger
In this professional development workshop, educators use select drama strategies to create lively stories and miniature plays with young children. The story-building process provides children with opportunities to practice key literacy, cognitive, and social-emotional skills, using their imaginations, collaborating, and having fun! Educators will practice guiding young children through this creative development process from start to finish.

1:00 pm-4:00 pm

GROWING GREEN
