Full-time professors and administrators at Sheridan are invited to participate in one of two Creative Problem Solving (Level 1) workshops being offered this academic year. The workshops will be facilitated by Gerard Puccio and his colleague John Cabra from The International Centre for Studies in Creativity at Buffalo State University. Gerard Puccio is Sheridan’s Distinguished Visiting Scholar (Creativity).
This CPS Level I workshop will: explore the nature of creativity, debunk common myths about creativity, describe the rapid rise of change in the 21st century and the corresponding need to develop the mind-set and the skill set for effectively responding to and initiating change, and most importantly outline the time-tested Creative Problem Solving process, an approach to on-demand creativity (Creativity Rising Creative Thinking and Creative Problem Solving in the 21st Century ICSC PRESS 2012).
There are 25 participant spots available in each three-day workshop. The workshops are being offered in 2016: January 6, 7 and 8 as well as May 4, 5 and 6. Location to be determined, tentatively the Trafalgar Conference Centre.
