Myths about Choice, Using the SHoM for goal setting, and why you should go to a conference!2/3/2020
As of January 1st, I started writing for The Art of Education University! This is an exciting opportunity and thrilled to be able to share whatever I can. I still plan on writing posts for the Art Ed Collective, of course, especially because I'll be able to write more in my personal voice. In between articles from all of our Collective voices, I thought I'd link all three articles per month that will be published through the Art of Ed. I'll make these in one post at the end of the month once they've all been released. We have some great topics here at the Art Ed Collective to share with you all, as well. Please stay tuned! Curious about Choice, but feeling nervous about what you've heard from around the art-ed pool? Check out the top 5 myths I hear all the time, and some responses to get you thinking. Feeling burnt out on your teaching? Bored with your old assignments and prompts? Feeling isolated and missing your educator community? Unsure of a new technique, media, or educational philosophy? Check out these reasons why attending an Art-Ed Conference is for you! Wondering how to wrap your head around the SHoM? Looking for strategies to support executive functioning? Trying to teach goal setting to your students and need a boost? Check out this article that will give you some strategies and ideas to consider using in your classroom structure. |
