Why not plan an inservice that taps into teachers'
creativity? Workshops for CPDU credit include a powerpoint presentation, group discussion, reflection and
a dynamic hands-on exploration of materials including paint, wire, clay, drawing materials, natural materials and more. Participants plan and discuss practical ways to use workshop
content in their classroom setting. Choose from a variety of workshop topics or create one designed to meet
the specific needs and interests of your staff.

"Rachel
presented many wonderful ideas with the teachers are excited about trying in their classrooms. Her suggestions for introducing
common everyday materials to explore in various curriculum areas inspired us to look differently at some of the junk in our
own storage room! Her slides provided teachers with new concepts for displaying children’s artwork and varying the ways
they present materials." Nancy Fineberg, M.Ed., Director, U of I at
Chicago Children’s Center
