| William Carey College's Creativity Workshop program enters its fifteenth year this summer with the Creativity Exploration. The program serves students from two school age groups, rising second graders through fifth in the elementary program and sixth through twelfth graders under the secondary publication format. Instructors develop the curriculm scaffolding from the expressed talents and interests of workshop participants. The close teacher to student ratio (a teacher for every two students) affords a rich learning environment with maximum potential for intellectual and creative development. The technologically rich environment includes designated computer lab use for student projects and also expedites publication of the Voice of Gifted Youth each summer. |
| Elementary students and secondary students enter the program on Monday, July 18 and continue through Wednesday, the 20th. The day long program emphasizes creative production across a number of high interest disciplines, including the arts. Teachers locate the curriculum in specific topic areas according to a general profile of participating students. Specifics of programming develop as students become engaged with content and production possiblities. Each day invites more individualization of instruction. |
| The focus for secondary students is production of a scholarly publication, the Voice. Students assume roles as staff, undertaking the physical and intellectual preparation of a newspaper representing the summer work. The writing, artwork, photographs, and presentation of the newspaper flow through the secondary lens. Thus, the paper presents the unique perspective of the summer participants and is solely a youth developed publication. William Carey College generously grants literary license to its young authors and responsibility for editorial and artistic content. |
