World-Class Professional Development Exploring the Arts, Imagination and Inquiry

Earn CPS Lane credit, graduate credit through Roosevelt University or CPDUs!

Discover how to unlock imaginative learning through engaging with works of art. Find new excitement in your teaching practice. Share the insights of professional artists. Lay down paint, move to a beat, try on a stage character, invent your own music, improvise in a group or solo, and enjoy research. Immerse yourself in a sustained encounter with works of dance, music, theater, or visual art.

LCI invites participants to explore imagination in education.  Stemming from the work of Maxine Greene (LCI's Philosopher-in-Residence) the program engages teachers by using an aesthetic education approach where the arts become the gateway to imaginative learning and higher thinking skills.  Whether you are an arts discipline teacher with lots of experience in the field, a classroom teacher with little experience in the arts, a teaching artist or administrator, LCI will help you to discover how to bring out new ideas in your students, and how to stimulate creative, conceptual thinkers and prepare them for the world beyond the classroom.
