PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS BY GEORGE WOIDECK

 

Recent participants in the professional development workshop "Deepening the Understanding of Symmetry with Mosaics."

Professional development workshops for the teachers has always been a focus of mine. For years I created workshops for the Teacher Resource Center of the Education Department of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Recently I became a Kennedy Center Fellow in the Initiative to Develop Effective Workshops for Teachers. This program creates professional development workshops that forge relationships between the arts and other parts of the curriculum. For the Kennedy Center I created the workshop "Deepening the Understanding of Symmetry with Mosaics" which I've offered in numerous workshops for teaching staffs. New this year is "From Geometry to Escher: Teaching TesselIations in Math and Art". I also give skill building workshops for art teachers during annual professional days. One of the most popular of these workshops is Sounds of the Earth (creating musical instruments from clay). In addition, I'm always creating new programs. Please contact me at 216 225 0368 or e-mail me at georgewoideck@sbcglobal.net to discuss how I can assist your school system in staff deveopment.
