About Imagine This

The Right Brain Initiative invites educators, artists, parents and community leaders from around the region to envision an education system with a permanent place for the arts at its first annual Imagine This, a three-day arts education seminar. This summit unique to the Portland area is designed to meet the needs of a broad range of educators and community leaders interested in expanding their ability to bring creativity into the K-8 classroom setting.  

 

Imagine This will appeal to K-8 educators, including classroom teachers, arts specialists, and curriculum directors as well as teaching artists of all disciplines. Seminar participants will choose from among 34 sessions providing practical tools educators can apply to their work. Sessions include workshops on topics ranging from “Curriculum Design” to “Theater and Literacy,” as well as hands-on studios in dance, theater, music, visual art and writing. School and community leaders will be particularly interested in workshops like “Building Creative Capital” and “Advocating for Arts Education.” “Stories from the Field” will highlight effective classroom arts experiences implemented by The Right Brain Initiative.

The seminar will also provide national perspective with the following plenary speakers and workshop leaders: Michael Geisen, seventh grade science teacher and National Teacher of the Year 2008, Prineville, Oregon; Russell Granet, associate program director, Center for Arts Education, and theater teaching artist with a focus on special education, New York City; and Alice Kawazoe, education consultant, California Academic Partnership Program, San Francisco Bay Area.  Also presenting will be The Right Brain Initiative’s professional development partner Deborah Brzoska, a teaching artist from The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; and Right Brain’s evaluation partner Dennie Palmer Wolf, principal with research and consulting firm WolfBrown in Cambridge, MA. Kim Stafford, nationally recognized poet and director of the Northwest Writing Institute, Lewis & Clark College, will provide the closing address.

Through professional development for teachers and artists, The Right Brain Initiative boosts the ability of the region’s educators to provide high quality arts experiences, furthering the program’s long-term vision to ensure that every single K-8 student in the Portland metropolitan area receives creative learning opportunities.
