TEACHING ARTS & DESIGN ALL GRADES
Link to TEACHING PORTFOLIO
As an art educator (Teacher of Art Initial Certification K-12), I teach art and design at an international school following the International Baccalaureate curriculum guidelines. I believe learning offers the possibility for individuals to understand how the world functions and is experienced. My art teaching practice is driven by an interdisciplinary approach where I use student centered learning strategies and inquiry-based activities so each student can develop creative and critical thinking skills through contemporary art.
