Weather it's teaching virtually, hybrid, in a shared space or traveling to 3 buildings per week I can sympathize because I've been there myself. Creating new content for my students and maintaining systems of organization for overwhelmed art teachers gives me a purpose.

Experience
Teaching art has been my passion for the past two decades. Working with diverse learners in grades K-12 across urban and rural settings I have honed my skills. Weather it's teaching virtually, hybrid, in a shared space or traveling to 3 buildings per week I can sympathize because I've been there myself. Creating new content for my students and maintaining systems of organization for overwhelmed art teachers gives me a purpose.
Teaching style
Most of my lesson plans would fall under the category of DBAE. This means you'll get a well balanced lesson plan with some art history, aesthetics and art criticism, not just a make and take filler. Lessons that check all the boxes on your standards and objectives and impress your subs and administration with their clarity and organization. Over the past decade I've begun to include more STEAM and technology components as our district has slowly provided the appropriate support for all students to succeed with these types of lessons.
