Michigan Art Education Association: Be Your Own Best Advocate
Submitted by Steve on October 19, 2011
From the MAEA blog, a plea to Arts educators to leverage technology tools for self-advocacy:
Although this is a challenging time for Visual Arts teachers because these classes are often viewed as being an "extra" part of the day, it is also a great opportunity to show how critical this subject area is to fostering student success and achievement.
Every day our students walk through the door, we expect them to show what they know. Through application of skills and concepts, students manipulate media and visually express meaning.
Why not apply this thought or expectation to ourselves?
