Course Description:
Ever wondered how one man, Walt Disney, created a Magic Kingdom? Join us and register to learn, dream, explore, design, and wonder. Understand how to create a classroom that provides your students with these same feelings. This educational PD course is designed to do just that. In this course, we explore how Walt Disney embodied these traits and how he inspired others around him to help build his Magic Kingdom. We will then take these ideas of creativity, storytelling, leadership, innovation, and guest service and apply them to creating classroom magic and even the bigger picture of crafting the schools of tomorrow.
This course includes blended learning and an onsite experiential learning experience field trip to Walt Disney World. The course will consist of discussions, lectures, interactive activities, research investigations, media/literacy projects, teamwork, and collaboration between classmates and instructors. It will consist of a master class onsite each day. The days include 4 hours, in park personalized tours, interactions, and learning opportunities with park cast members and other Disney-related professionals.
The overall goal of this course is to provide participants with instructional methods, concepts, strategies, and activities that they will be able to apply to their classrooms and schools immediately. Collaboration, curiosity, critical / design thinking, and storytelling are all important 21st-century skills that not only do our students need to master but we as educators can continue to improve upon also. This course will help participants do both and all through the same lens that made Walt Disney and the Disney Company so successful and innovative.
