I’ll Be Attending the NAEA National Convention Next Week!

 

The NAEA National Convention is the largest professional development opportunity offered worldwide, exclusively developed art educators. Participating in exemplary professional development workshops and sessions with other pK-12 art educators, museum educators, researchers, scholars and university professors, teaching artists, and administrators offers a unique opportunity to collaborate and learn from other professionals in the field, as well as share our schools successes.  Within the 1,000 concurrent sessions offered at the 2012 NAEA National Convention, there are numerous sessions specically targeted to my professional development goals including strategies for enhancing student achievement, interdisciplinary learning, assessment, curriculum, and instruction.

 

I can’t wait to bring back all that I will learn  and share it with the students at SJV!
