2 Hour On-Site Training Seminar

 Summary of Content and Format
of our
2 hour On-Site Training Seminar

Attendees will experience the 3 Dimensional Storytelling method just as it is implemented in actual classrooms. Each story starts with an empty tabletop. As the story is being shared, especially crafted pieces of the story are added to the table.  These pieces are integral to the storyline and provide colorful visual input that coincides with the verbalized story. The children (attendees) are all made Junior Storytellers and actively participate in the story development. Puppets, songs, and role-playing by the children (attendees) are all incorporated into the presentation. These methodologies are used to introduce and reinforce unique alphabet, phonics, and numeric awareness techniques. Increased vocabulary and better communication skills are encouraged by introducing new words to the children and sharing the meaning with them.  Exercises throughout the story promote use of their (children/attendees) imaginations and creativity. Each story is themed to encourage positive behaviors and provide a goal setting mindset. A positive self-esteem message is left with the children. To assist the children in developing a greater appreciation for reading, attendees will be shown how to create their own “Story Box”.  Small articles of their choice are placed in the box. The children (attendees) then use these articles at a later date, to “Share a story” with their classmates. At the conclusion of each 3 Dimensional presentation, each child is given themed coloring sheets and stickers reinforcing the positive messages embedded in the story.

At the end of the interactive storytelling segment, there will be a question and answer period for the attendees. 

Attendees are encouraged to contact presenters by email with any follow on comments and or questions.

Attendees will be given Feedback Sheets with pre-addressed stamped envelopes.  It is this feedback that allows Creative Seminars to constantly improve our training and address your concerns.

(Segment Two) Attendees will participate in a hands-on 3 Dimensional Story building work shop that demonstrates the principles employed in building a 3 Dimensional Story from beginning to end of construction.

Using that technique they will then determine where and when to inject activities into the story that reinforce specific mandated requirements and assist in preparing children to meet performance measurements outcomes used in determining student progress.  This segment is highly interactive and lively exchange of ideas is always generated. The creative juices flow freely and Attendees share many of their own wonderfully creative ideas with the group.
