But the reality is that some of the world’s most creative people have very structured boundaries for their work.
In today’s episode, we’re going to dive into ways that boundaries can actually help your creative spirit thrive. Get all the show notes at artsintegration.com/sparkchasers/

What’s the one thing most teachers dread more than anything else? The words “new initiative”. More often than not, there’s rolled eyes and inward groans. Not because teachers are afraid of change.

This is a common barrier for arts integration and STEAM as well. And the very best way I’ve found to jump that hurdle is through the CBAM model. In this episode, we'll chat about what CBAM is and how you can use it in your school to guide change. Get all the show notes at artsintegration.com/sparkchasers
