"It is amazing to work with people from different disciplines just as excited as you are to learn!"
Dan Danforth was looking for a multi-disciplinary program with an emphasis on team teaching and creative thinking. After looking at the course listing in the Buffalo State College graduate catalog, Dan knew that the International Center for Studies in Creativity was a precise match! After meeting with Associate Professor Mary Murdock and acquiring additional background information about the program, Dan was absolutely excited to learn more!
As a music teacher in the Buffalo Public School system, Dan inspires creative thinking in his class. His students are encouraged to brainstorm, problem solve, and come up with unique, innovative, and different ideas. As a Drama Club teacher, Dan uses a variety of creative problem solving tools to create, plan, and produce a new dramatic play every year. Dan uses team-building activities to close the age gap between his students (grades 4-8) and to promote trust among his students. Under Dan's leadership, great masterpieces are created!
Dan believes that from any kind of background: business to education, the International Center for Studies in Creativity will provide you with the skills that will benefit you and those you work with.
"You'll develop facilitation and creative thinking skills that are priceless."
