The elementary school welcomed the team for hands-on, in-person student workshops using Animation-ish and The Peter H. Reynolds Storybook Academy and cheered when Peter H. Reynolds joined virtually for a book reading and Q&A.

FableVision Learning Connects with Gifted Educators in Georgia
FableVision Learning’s Sara Smith, Director of Creative Education, and Andrea Calvin, Vice President, roadtripped to Athens, Georgia to connect the dots at the Georgia Association for Gifted Educators conference. Held on the beautiful University of Georgia campus the conference saw over 500 educators from across the state.
During three hands-on-sessions educators dove deeper into the works of Peter H. Reynolds and creativity skills.
At the Start With A Story session, participants explored the SEL and Creativity themes of Peter’s book The Dot as they made their mark in Animation-ish.
Later in the day Sara encouraged attendees to Unbox Creativity and stretch their creative muscles as they explored divergent thinking and tools to bring into their teaching practice. If you weren’t able to attend the session, we encourage you to explore FableVision Learning’s Certified Creative Educator Course.
A special thank you to Lisa B. Hackney at the Georgia Department of Education for being an amazing host during the conference and beyond. And to Desiree Isis Sharpe and the team at the Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development (housed on the university’s campus), for hosting the FableVision Learning team, Georgia Department of Education’s gifted program manager Mary Jean Banter and program specialist Lisa Hackney, and Dalton gifted educator Molly Carlson for lunch and conversation.
