TEACHING

In addition to my personal practice I'm also a K-12 art educator with experience teaching several age groups through the lens of critical theory with a goal of facilitating social-emotional learning. On this page you can view original lesson plans, examples of student work, and my guide for classroom management.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The classroom functions through cooperation between all students and the teacher, by embracing our Consistent Values and Collective Culture and practicing responsibility and accountability in order to support the classroom environment. When these expectations are met, our classroom can facilitate learning, growth, and creation. When the classroom culture is disturbed, there are a number of consequences that can follow. We discuss our consistent values and develop our collective culture during the first week of school. Each student has a copy to keep with their sketchbook.
