For many teachers and students, the discussion of plagiarism centers on the do’s and dont’s and the consequences for violating integrity policies. Instead of solely focusing on this negative classroom dynamic, Teresa "Teddi" Fishman is encouraging a more positive approach—one that elevates a student’s view of creativity and original thought.
Join us for a an engaging session in which Teddi Fishman will share how to promote a culture of creativity through improv exercises in the classroom along with role-play workshops designed to help students understand what is “original” and why the strategic use of others’ ideas is an important and valued intellectual skill and exercise
