SUMMARY:Creativity: The 21st Century Skill No One Is Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dan Hunter\, Inventor of H-IQ; and Hathalee Higgs\, Partner and Co-Founder\, Hunter Higgs\, LLC\nModerated by Joyce Whitby\, CEO and Co-Founder\, Innovations4Education \nSponsored by H-IQ \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nThe world needs creativity. Business leaders talk about it. Education leaders talk about it. But teachers are the ones to DO it. The classroom is where students develop the creativity they will need in the future. How can we improve classroom teaching to foster creativity—the one 21st century skill that is rarely taught? View this edWebinar with Dan Hunter\, author of Learning and Teaching Creativity\, interviewed by education consultant Joyce Whitby. Dan discusses in detail: \n\nHow to teach creativity\nHow to generate ideas\nHow to design assignments to improve imagination\nHow to assess creative progress\nHow to improve your own imagination\n\nStudents learn to use their imagination by generating their own ideas and then exploring those ideas through trial and error. Teaching creativity is like teaching how to ride a bike—you can describe it or guide it\, but eventually\, every individual must learn to ride on their own. No one became a teacher to supervise rote learning. The motivation to teach comes from the joy of seeing young minds learn\, create\, and surprise us with their ideas. This session inspires your own creativity—in your life and in your classroom. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers\, librarians\, school leaders\, district leaders\, and gifted and talented program leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDan Hunter is a playwright\, songwriter\, teacher\, and founding partner of Hunter Higgs\, LLC.

H-IQ engages you in metacognition—thinking about how you think across a spectrum of ten categories. For example\, are you more of a verbal or visual thinker? Do you prefer a linear style\, or do you prefer following random thoughts? H-IQ presents assessments with speedometer-like graphs showing how you fit between two thinking styles.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Jonathan Haidt\, Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business\, and Author of The Anxious Generation\nModerated by Jenn David-Lang\, Founder\, The Main Idea and School Leader Masterminds \nSponsored by Penguin Random House Education and Penguin Press \nWatch the RecordingListen to the Podcast \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features.  \nAdolescents are in a mental health crisis. Major depressive episodes among American teens have more than doubled since 2010 as their social lives moved onto smartphones loaded with social media apps. The only available explanation for why this happened in many countries at the same time is that the ancient “play-based childhood” was replaced by the “phone-based childhood.” This “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development\, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation\, addiction\, loneliness\, social contagion\, social comparison\, and perfectionism. \nSchools and education departments can take the lead in setting new norms that will roll back the phone-based childhood and restore more free play and independence. In this edWebinar\, social psychologist Dr. Jonathan Haidt walks educators through the research on our urgent youth mental health crisis\, present four norms for collective action\, and outline what schools can do now to improve mental health for kids and teens. Viewers should consider what questions they have for Dr. Jonathan Haidt about the role of schools in dealing with social media\, phones\, and adolescent mental health issues. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, school leaders\, district leaders\, education technology leaders\, and school counselors and psychologists. \n \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 and taught for 16 years at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on moral and political psychology. His latest book\, The Anxious Generation\, explores how the rise in youth mental health challenges is attributed to the transition from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood. Dr. Haidt is also the author of The Coddling of the American Mind (written with Greg Lukianoff)\, The Happiness Hypothesis\, and The Righteous Mind. He writes the After Babel Substack. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nJenn David-Lang has worked as a teacher\, school administrator\, consultant\, and founder of educational organizations for over 30 years. When she noticed that school leaders had little time for their own professional learning\, Jenn founded The Main Idea. Her subscribers receive a thorough book summary each month\, connecting them with the latest and most compelling ideas in education and leadership. Jenn also facilitates Masterminds (online groups of educational leaders learning together)\, leads workshops\, coaches educational leaders\, and conducts school evaluations.  \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Mental Health and Wellness community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nAt Penguin Random House Education we believe that all children can learn to read.
