After
Drexel University's School of Education won the University's
Departmental Award for 2001-2002, Dr. Fredricka K. Reisman, Director of
the School of Education, decided to spend their stipend on a trip to
Teachers College to discuss the creative prevention of school violence,
emotional intelligence, and the arts. They met with professors Graeme
Sullivan (pictured above) and John Broughton from the Department of
Arts and Humanities for a dialogue on these topics. Sullivan headed the
discussion of the importance of creativity in teaching. In the debate
between content and pedagogy knowledge, he guided the discussion
towards the importance of teaching students critical reasoning across
the curriculum. Broughton led them into discussions about terrorism and
film and their influences on students. He also talked about the
influence that standardized testing has on school culture and community.
