In addition to providing classroom-ready tools and lessons, we offer PD and support for arts curriculum and assessment, arts integration, and classroom structure and support for the arts lab.
Waiting for an art teacher in his room, I chatted with a couple of students working at their tables.
“What’cha working on today?” I asked.
“Tracing watercolor drops with a sharpie,” a student offered.
Hoping to learn more about the lesson, I asked, “Why?”
A student shrugged towards the teacher, “Because he told us to.”
