Our Campaign

• Intro - Little girl frustrated (tear coming from eye) by limited creativity in the classroom (insert mock teacher from generic school killing all hope for fun and creativity; shot in black and white on a rainy day). From outside we hear "But wait, there's more...". We are introduced to good teacher in color at MJDS on a sunny day giving the student a fun learning assignment.
• Slide 2 - Maker-space - student is building a structure out of spaghetti and marshmallows with teacher encouragement. Student smiles and says "I love MJDS because..."
• Slide 3 - Classroom - younger child and older child collaborating on a project together. Students smile and say "I love MJDS because..."
• Slide 4 - Outside - older child is measuring the shadow from the tree by the court. Student is actively engaged, with teacher encouragement. Student smiles and says "I love MJDS because..."
• Conclusion - Ideation Studio - Younger child, older child say "I love MJDS because it allows for endless possibilities for creativity. Ranging from the maker-space room to outside, we are given opportunities to be creative. Thanks MJDS."

Our Big Thinking

Karin

• Spaces - So many rooms/spaces in our school can be used for learning and creating, it doesn't have to just be a classroom.
• Culture - There is no such thing as a wrong/bad idea. Encourage thinking further/deeper.
• Learning Design - Provide choices for learning and creating. Give kids the freedom and trust to do things their way.
• Other -

Noah

• Spaces - Within each classroom, what areas should/could be influential in the creativity process? All rooms inside the school can be a creative space, but let us not forget the space of nature surrounding the school to inspire creativity. I think the mental space created via conversation is more powerful.
• Culture - Encouragement is the strongest factor in creating a creative culture. We if we can encourage students and maintain being positive, we can encourage student exploration.
• Learning Design - Allowing students to make choices for their exploration and work in a supportive, collaborative manner will encourage additional creativity.
• Other - What about creative-inducing activities, such as brain teasers or jumping jacks?
