The Connected Classroom

How it works

The 3 C’s ambition is to offer early intervention in the shape of a robust language arts curriculum. This powerful breakout presentation for educators is highly interactive and participative, daring teachers to rethink how we structure the exploration of language and the power of ideas.

Educators learn first-hand how to use specific exercises to increase confidence and meaningful communication with a series of collaborative take-home strategies. Tim offers foundational tools that can change the habits, culture and communication challenges in all schools, providing teachers access to new ways to build trust, connection and communication in their classrooms.

Why it works

Fostering curious minds to expand vocabularies: confidence, connecting the disconnected, and amplifying students’ most undervalued resource — creativity.

What improv and speech training have been providing for decades (group collaboration through play, organization and delivery of verbal scripts) is a well-honed critical thinking superconductor that should be a natural part of every student’s schooling and curriculum, preparing them for communicating in the 21st century.

Researchers now understand that language is more or less the first unofficial script a child explores. The 3 C’s intensifies and expands a student’s script by fostering a more dynamic collaboration of self and voice through — and with — others.

A trained practitioner

With a master’s in communication, professor Clue set out to retrace the steps of a challenged learner and build the program that changed his mind and then his life. He combines a life’s work as educator, writer, comic, speaker and challenged learner into one dynamic compound.
