My Students

I teach art at an inner-city Title I school. Our school is a special place, because we are a part of the transformation zone, a long journey to turn around the climate and culture of a chronically failing school. We are now in year four of transformation and no longer a failing school. Despite the social disparities our students face, we are a model transformation school that is continuing to grow.

We have been successful with our students because of our own professional development to help evolve our teaching practices.

In my art room, students have the opportunity to be creative and express themselves. The art room also levels the playing field for all students. No matter where they are academically, they can excel in creativity. It is a happy and joyful place for children to be children.

Attending art conferences provides relevant professional development for the visual arts. These conferences provide research based teaching strategies and hands-up workshops. Conference attendees walk away with lesson plans feeling knowledgeable and refreshed. Bringing back great ideas is exciting to share with students.

My Project

The NAEA National Convention is an annual event providing substantive professional development services that include the advancement of knowledge in all sessions, events, and activities for the purpose of improving visual arts instruction in American schools. As such, it is the world’s largest art education convention.

Learning how to create STEAM projects will be a great approach to elevating student achievement in the art room.

Using science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics will raise the bar for student learning, and be a valuable asset in supporting the academic needs of our students, as well as core teachers. Such projects provide students with the opportunity to participate in hands-on experiences. Such classroom experiences art engaging and rich learning experiences for students.
