Kathleen has been a teaching artist with the COOL Schools Program for the past three years. She has provided quality, inclusive visual-arts programs to elementary school students with autism, in general education classrooms, and to high school students with intellectual disabilities. Students have learned so much more than visual arts from Kathleen! She has taught them how to collaborate, find and celebrate talents in each other, and trust in their own abilities. Kathleen has also given her partner teachers a wealth of resources and ideas on how to integrate the arts to make their academic curriculum more accessible and engaging to their diverse students. This past month, she worked hard to curate and contribute student artwork to the "COOL Ways to Play" artshow at the Boston Children's Museum. Kathleen is an outstanding teaching artist who enriches the lives of the students she inspires.
