Newton Joanna Reed, an assistant professor of Humanities at Sussex County Community College will be presenting a workshop for area high school teachers. The workshop, to be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 7, will focus on “Infusing Creativity into the Course Curriculum.” Having recently returned from Florence, Italy, where she participated in an extraordinary creativity course, Reed is eager to share the substance and methodology with professionals who value the importance of the creative process in the classroom. A light supper will be served in the college cafeteria from 5:30 to 6 p.m. The free workshop will take place in the Sussex Bank Theater. Participating teachers will also receive two professional development credits, at no cost. Reed’s workshop will focus on the creative process, while exploring the concepts of originality, memory and imagination. The workshop will be hands-on and provide many exercises and activities to stimulate creative thinking. Each individual will explore his or her respective creative processes, which can later be transferred to students in the classroom. By focusing on the creative process, Reed will evoke a non-threatening environment in which each individual will be encouraged to express his or her own unique creative nature. The workshop is interdisciplinary, as it focuses on brainstorming, problem solving and synthesis. These activities can be utilized by students in a variety of subject areas.
