in Education
As a teaching artist, I aim to help young people develop a greater sense of their own agency, an increased ability to think from multiple perspectives and a flourishing love of learning.
I believe that integrating visual arts learning into curricula helps all students thrive by:
- making learning visible through the construction of artifacts that evince understanding
- providing a voice or entry point for all learners through multiple media and methods of expression
- breaking down our artificial barriers between subjects, concepts and intelligences
- giving students access to the infinite and sublime
Ages: pre-k-12
Settings: inclusive classrooms
Subjects: all, I have experience with 1st grade Social Studies, 2nd grade Reading, 3rd grade Writing and Social Studies, 10th and 12th grade Environmental Science and Food Justice, 5th grade History and Reading
Collaboration with teachers: After our initial planning meeting, I continually check in with teachers to ensure that our arts integrated work supports all students and enriches the areas of study on which they are focused. This often requires adaptation and flexibility.
Classroom Management: I believe that authentic engagement solves most management issues. I expect students to be present, respectful and kind.
