Tie-Dye Student Engagement Workshop
A hands-on professional learning experience focused on building stronger relationships, increasing student engagement, and creating positive school culture through accessible, collaborative activities.
Participants will learn basic tie-dye techniques, including pattern preparation, color application, and project setup, while also exploring how similar activities can be adapted for use in continuation, community day, independent study, and other alternative education settings. Because tie-dye activities are highly visual, creative, and approachable for students with varying levels of academic confidence, they can serve as an effective strategy for encouraging participation, conversation, and connection.
For alternative education educators, structured hands-on activities can be especially valuable for developing trust and creating informal opportunities for staff and students to interact in a positive setting. A tie-dye project can be incorporated into advisory periods, schoolwide culture-building events, student recognition activities, orientation programs, after-school opportunities, or PBIS and attendance incentives. The activity can also support teamwork, self-expression, patience, planning, and a sense of accomplishment as students create a tangible product they can take pride in.
Participants will leave the session with practical tools they can immediately bring back to their school sites. Each attendee will take home their own tie-dye creation, a tie-dye kit, and a how-to guide designed to support replication of the activity with students. These resources will help educators move beyond learning about the strategy and provide them with a ready-to-use model for implementing a similar student engagement activity at their school.
As an optional extension of the CCEA Plus Conference, the Tie-Dye Student Engagement Workshop supports the organization’s commitment to student-centered practices, relationship-building, school culture, and innovative approaches to engaging students in alternative education settings.
