My Students
Students at my school are just as varied as you might expect for a school of 800 students. However, what I have noticed is that they are as a rule respectful, kind, and considerate to each other and their teachers. They are inclusive so that no matter how unique and different someone is they always have a place at the table. Foreign exchange students are embraced and celebrated for their culture, musicians are celebrated for musical talents, and athletes are cheered for their abilities. Really everyone at our school readily interacts with each other and does so in a kind way. An example is how our students received a national award for our unified basketball program which is all about supporting each other. There is always some kind of fundraiser happening to help those less fortunate and it is always done with enthusiasm and commitment. Another example is this past fall when there was an international walkout day for climate change awareness. Our students worked with faculty to come up with an event that satisfied their need to peacefully protest at the same time it complied with the needs of the school to have students engaged in learning.
My Project
Sketchbooks are the place where it all starts, where the notes and doodles first give the artist insight into the students' interests and direction to their actions.
Highly portable sketchbooks can adapt to whatever setting the student/artist is working in: the classroom, outdoors, or at home.
In my mind, the sketchbook is the most valuable resource because it is where a project is born.
Equity starts with ensuring that each student has the basics of what it will take to succeed and I believe that putting a sketchbook into every student's hand accomplishes this.
