We’ll use this blog as a space for exploration. And we’ll examine these questions over the next three years as makeSPACE expands.
You’ll see examples of creative engagement in action. We’ll illustrate what we learn with videos from the classroom and curriculum examples. And we’ll show you what it means to engage creatively by bringing you the latest from our work and beyond.
We welcome you as idea builders, curious minds, and engaged educators. And we’ll treat you as enthusiastic supporters, critical thinkers, and resource guides. Most of all, we invite you to join in the dialogue.
Creative engagement is about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and embracing vulnerability in the creative process.
In the next several posts, we’ll introduce the makeSPACE approach. We’ll explore foundational concepts of creative engagement. And we’ll report on early innovations (and insights) from classrooms across Oregon—and beyond.
As we publish this first blog, we’re only a few miles into this makeSPACE river journey. Please jump on the river to adventure with us, engage your curiosity, and grow your creative resources.
