#MyELTOC
Why is creativity so important and how can we develop it in our primary classrooms? In this session we will examine how cultural and educational pressures can act as barriers to students’ creative expression, then consider classroom remedies for developing inclusive and supportive environments conducive to risk-taking and the free flow of ideas. We will focus on the practical ways to adapt coursebook materials already available to you, so that you can develop creative routines with minimal preparation time.

Matthew Blacker is an experienced educator with years of experience teaching primary school students in Vietnam and the UK. He has a background in psychology and experience teaching ESL in public schools, private schools, and language centres. In 2021, he was invited as a guest speaker to the International Conference on Innovation in Learning Instruction and Teacher Education in Hanoi to share his ideas on developing critical thinking and collaborative learning in Asian classrooms. He enjoys learning about innovative approaches to language instruction and reflecting on how we can strive to create meaningful communication between students. He prefers to take a hands-on approach to professional development, encouraging teachers to understand and reflect on pedagogical concepts but also providing them with a clear outline of how these can be applied to their teaching practice.
