Creative Expressions is an interactive class that seeks to address and correct some of the key issues of troubled teens including:
Low self-esteem, unhealthy attitudes, inadequate reasoning/problem solving skills, inability to resolve conflict, inability to communicate effectively, and low academic performance.
The Rhythmic Approach to Learning model, which uses the creative process to enhance the learning process and therefore advance the educational process, is the foundation of this class.
Motivational Poetry, which is any poetic expression that encourages the heart, insights the mind, inspires the will, and raises the spirit, is the creative tool used to facilitate this process.
The objectives and strategies are to help kids to (1) connect with themselves and their environment; (2) bring their attitude in line with the attitudes of dreamers/achievers; (3) raise their level of expectation and awareness; (4) recognize and manage obstacles to achieve their goals; and (5) develop a strong sense of character and confidence through the use of poetry and the guidance of the Dominion Training Leadership model.
The expected outcomes include: (1) increased understanding of self, others, and life in general; (2) increased ability to communicate effectively; (3) increased respect for self and others; (4) increased level of confidence; (5) increased writing skills level; (6) increased reading and comprehension skills level; (7) increased critical thinking skills level.
