Activating Community Knowledge

for more Creative Teaching and Learning

Every Classroom is surrounded by a community that wants to help.

You just have to know how to ask.

Inviting multiple ways of being and knowing into the classroom leads to more dynamic and creative Teaching and Learning

Expanding the definition of "classroom community" increases resources, builds connections, and makes learning (and teaching) more fun

It means breaking down the typical ideas of what learning is, who is leading it, and how and where it happens

Creativity happens in Community

Creativity is not a lightning bolt that shoots down from above. It is an intentional act-- an openness to experience and possibility, and a willingness to explore and imagine. 3C works with schools to build creativity teams out of people, places, and possibilities that surround schools. Then we help to build curriculum that deepens learning and makes in more engaging

Our Partners

Here is who we are already working with (and the list is growing!!)

Here is what they have to say:

"I did feel a little pressure during the first round but each round afterwards got easier and easier and personally, my ideas and creativity really evolved from beginning to end. As someone who is not creative and if I have to it takes a little bit to build the momentum, the structure of the Creativity Labs worked really well for me. It’s exciting to think about hosting future labs and inviting more youth into our space along with a new make up of agency staff and community partners."
