A Spiritual and Pedagogical framework
We are a community space or Sangha committed to the spirit of collaboration and working through challenges using our spiritual framework, The Sacred Classroom™ .
The Sacred Classroom™ treats life itself as a classroom; it offers a guidepost for the evolution of our consciousness as we work together in a community space.
To equip ourselves with the essence of our spiritual and pedagogical framework, a holistic in-service training program has been designed and developed in-house led by our founder, Jayashree Ashok. The complete series of workshops and retreats in this inservice education program, culminates in a certification for The Sacred Classroom Teacher Education Program. This in-service teacher education program offers an immersion in Creative’s spiritual framework and pedagogy. This will also help you with the mindfulness required for working collaboratively in a Sangha. Along with teacher self-development through the varied courses, the teacher education program covers the implementation of Creative’s Trilogy - educational pedagogy including The Sacred Classroom, Four Step Learning and Cocreating Sacred.
