Albert Einstein said, “There are two ways to live your life, one as if nothing is a miracle the other is that
everything is.”
It is the vision of Creative World Connection that every student be given the right lens that helps him or her see this miracle. Using Creative World Connections is one way to nurture learning enriched schools. In this environment students can see that real learning happens when they begin to value the differences.
Creative World Connections was founded by Karen Pesta an educator with 13-years experience in the Michigan Public Schools. She helped establish an alternative program to in school suspension in the Walled Lake Consolidated School District. This program engaged students in a process of self-evaluation promoting responsible decision-making.
Karen was a member of her schools leadership team and trained to help facilitate their Professional Learning Community. Also trained in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Choice Theory and conflict mediation.
Creative World Connections was born out of her experience in dealing with student misbehaviors. She created weekly success tips using the principles of the 7Habits. These announcements were interactive and assisted by students with behavior problems. This innovative approach sought to give students the tools to achieve academic and social success and was popular with both students and staff.
