Creative experiences are a wonderful way to draw families into schools and build the sense of partnership between educators and parents. In this webinar, participants explored how creative experiences can deepen opportunities for family engagement. Parents and educators share the same goals and aspirations for children. This common ground helps to build their relationship as co-educators who work together to support children’s learning.
Learning Outcomes:
Special Invitation: As special recognition, the educators who share their Crystal Ball sculptures or sketches will receive a complimentary gift from Crayola.

The Discussion Forum is only accessible to members of the Champion Creativity community and the deadline to upload your Crystal Ball artwork or Family Engagement Plan is March 30, 2016.

Cheri Sterman works with educators across the country, helping them use creative experiences to increase family engagement in schools. She has found art integration to be a wonderful way to open the door and increase understanding between educators and parents. Art draws families and schools together and enables educators and parents to make long-term, significant impact on children. Conversations about creativity and self-expression are fundamental to child development—and this workshop helps educators have those conversations with parents. Cheri has presented this seminar to diverse groups of educators—including principals, art educators, early childhood educators, and classroom teachers—each coming away with practical ideas to partner with parents.
Art-infused education builds 21st Century skills. Crayola helps parents and educators raise creatively alive children.
