HOCUS FOCUS: Using the Arts to Engage Students in Learning 
HOCUS FOCUS is a child-centered, experiential-based education approach that utilizes the art of illusion to engage students in the learning process.  One of the most important factors for achieving success for all children is to engage them in the creative process involving the three modalities of learning – learn by seeing, learn by hearing, and learn by doing.  Participants will be exposed to new tools to teach their children math, language arts, and science.
